About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm energetic, talkative and easy-going. I try to accept people as they are and to learn something new from them. See references for more opinions. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

"Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as though you'll drop dead in 10 seconds"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was hosted by wonderful people but I mostly participate in the meetings of Moscow group and I show people around the city. I always meet CSers while travelling abroad to explore the place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in France, Austria, Norway and i've been to a CS New Year collective in Romania. That was amazing, though all hosts are so different! Cs was especially helpful when i was travelling alone. Then there was nothing as good as coming home in the evening to people sharing your interestes and outlook.
However, I spend most of my time in Moscow and I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of Moscow community. I've met dozens of cool people there and it's like a big family.
