Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all, I love traveling.
But traveling for me is not only about discovering new places, but also about meeting new people, no matter if they are local or not!
It's something we can share with each other - travel stories, same or different opinions, specific knowledge, something about a new place and good mood :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did an overland journey from central Russia to the south of India through Iran and Pakistan mostly with hitchhiking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories I've collected on my travels. I love discussing movies, culture and especially philosophical topics.
I also cook for myself and friends sometimes, but I'm not sure everyone likes it, so it depends on what you want :D
