ABOUT ME

Open-minded, joyful, self-investigation junkie.
A weird mix of sociopathic misanthrope and social activist.
Never had a conventional tourist experience - I prefer freedom, my own choices, challenges and opportunities. Thus one can get real perception of a place one has been to.
I haven't travelled a lot in comparison with many other CSers but I definitely have experiences to share.
And love to connect with people who can and do share experiences themselves.
Also I should mention that I am not gay (as people somehow assume from these texts).

PHILOSOPHY

There is nothing personal in the world, everything you see, think and perceive is all of one big source (divine source, if you wish).

There is nothing boring or frustrating in life if you find a dimension of peace within yourself.
It doesn't mean that having found peace you stop doing anything. No, you continue your usual life, do what you did earlier - but sensating it differently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosted much more times that I hosted myself, so as a means of "giving back to the community" (and provided that I know Moscow well) I acted as a guide in a city tour during CS invasion (see the main photo).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was hosted in Europe, Asia, Africa and America.
Was coming back to a fellow host because of new friends even though already moved to a rented apartment.
Got to know countries from inside - the opportunity that you coldn't receive in conventional tourism and what I like in Couchsurfing most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mutually and immediately felt in love with a girl from another country (before that case I didn't believe it could happen in reality and moveover with me personally)
