About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sing for the teachers, who told you that you couldn't sing.

ABOUT ME

Hi! We're married couple from Moscow. We currently live in Tallinn.
Dima works as a QA Automation Engineer. Sasha is a designer.
Like everyone on CS we're fond of travelling, trying to make photos (and even were in a final of one russian travel price once), love hiking and trekking in places that said to be remote (but always meet a lot of people there). We enjoy craft beers (tried 1000+ different beers), or drink good wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

WHY WE ARE HERE?

We are here from 2011 and CS for us is something that we use not in case of free overnight (we have enough money to use hostel/hotel). It is the best way to get inside the country, make new friends, or even survive (like in China). Thats why we choose our hosts and guests very carefully.

CS gave us many friends and a lot of amazing moments.

Teach, Learn, Share

We're interested in learning almost everything we don't know.
We can teach you russian language, some engineering, some design, geography, share plenty stories.
We can also help you with maps and routes of places we've been to.
We have rather good knowledge of outdoor equipment and may give you advice or even a discount (in Moscow).
