Hey, just call me Ark!

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying Life and also trying to be usefull for others in the areas I can help when and where they really need that help

ABOUT ME

I am who I am - simple man was born in Russia and at the present moment living in Sweden. I am married since 1999 and have one daughter who was born Nov 2007. My wife name is Antonina and daughter name is Arina. My name spells in English in different documents generally 2 ways - Arkady or Arkadiy and lately I just use Ark version :). I am happy man(and by the way that is a meaning of my name from greek:)). I believe in God. I am not promote any religions teaching and hate denominational fights - I am simply Christian and that's it. I hate racism, nationalism and any radicalism and extremism. I do not divide people and try not to put some of the higher than others because of country they cam from or their education, amount of money they have etc. I like to create web-sites and to develop web-software. I love to study in this area and also to create real projects. And of course I like to travel very much. This is one of the reason I am here. Also I used to live in a resort city - one of the greatest of it's kind in Russia and we get used to have guests and tourists here and help them some how, so we are open for this through this site also wherever we will be.

PHILOSOPHY

All people are the same and in a same time very different. I like to see the differences not in a way that that person is better or worse, or belongs to my party or against it, but in the way that we all unique and it's beautiful. And the fact that we all the same I like us to remember in the moments when we have temptation to judge someone or to say something bad about others, how as we think do not look like me or act like me or think like me... in this moments better to think that we all the same - we are all people and you are not better or not worse that someone else. So this is why the fact that we are all same and different in a same time can be used for good! My philosophy is simple - God created us all and we have no right to put anybody down... we are here to have freedom and to love each other and do not take their freedom from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At this moment I am very new to this social network. We as a family can help all people who is coming or wants to come to Kislovodsk, Russia to find place there even we are not there now. We also can help with any information about this city. And of course we would like to see people visiting us here in Sweden now

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ushally I always stayed with friends I already known or at some campings or hotel. But some times my friends directed me to some places where people whom I never saw before gave me a place to stay over night and also we spent some time talking and eating. So I do not have big experience of real couch-surfing in pure way but I go something like this as I explained above. Generally I think it is great idea and if people could become more open again we can help each other to travel more and spend less money for that and most important to see new people, have new friends and see many new and interesting places...
