ABOUT ME

I was many years bald, but now I'm totally blond, so please speak slowly, haha

I love travelling most of all! Hitchiking, bicycle. boat... all kind of it! I would like to visit each country on The Earth:-) And I like to meet new people - they make my life brighter when they smile!

Also I'm an art photographer, if u like crazy photos, U can check my instagram @ashamiles.spb
Before it I was travel journalist

I am fan of abandonned places (all kind of it - factories, schools, hospitals and, of course, abandonned cities!) If U can show me something - you are God for me!

Like special places, not "typical touristic"

Also I like animals and always happy to participate in conservation projects and help in volonteer centre!

Love sports, especially pole dance!

PHILOSOPHY

I think it is close to buddhism

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing makes the world better - I'm sure! The best way to know country - to know people who live there!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I travelled many countries with my friend Nadya by hitchhiking and tried to find local people in every town (you can check Nadya Pyankova profile) - most of referencies are on her page for both of us cause we travelled together
