About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to become better and better every day, because you know what, it's fun. This is why we are here on Earth, to be happy!

ABOUT ME

Super extravert, as my friend called me. Other definition I heard was 'hard core' :)
From my perspective I am balanced in most areas. I love having fun, but also work on developing myself. I read a lot, work on my personality. So... you better get to know me to say who I am :)

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to gain eternal happiness. I know that it is in families. We try to cultivate this thruth in our family with my wife. But most of the times we just go and have fun together :) watching movies, visiting friends, playing games (card, activity and others..)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My wife and I are planning to travel the USA, so the reason I'm here was to find a host for our trip. Now I can see it's more than that and I can meet people from all over the world. Well, get more friends from all over :) If my wife doesn't mind, we can host for a couple of nights easily.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None of the official experience yet. Our last year trip failed for the visa reasons. Currently we're planning our trip for March-April 2012. We got our visas in advance this time ;)
Nevertheless, we constantly host our friends from all over Russia. Our friends don't need a CS request for us ;)

Interests

I love traveling. Since I got married we never stop that and visit other places every once in a while. People save money to buy cars and apartments, we waste them traveling :)
We love dancing too. We dance waltz together, cha-cha and stuff like that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a kind of Music that all americans call techno :)
We now watch a lot of family comedies, but also like movies that make you think. Like Ghost-writer or something.
Stephen Covey's books are amazing. Anna Karenina by Tolstoy is a must for improving relationships.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A bike ride down the hill in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Wedding, honey moon, family visit, temple trip all in two weeks with four times being in Moscow and back to Tomsk :) that was crazy.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are hosted, bring something unique from your city/country. Or a magnet with your city's name at least. It will make the host feel special. My friends do that to us and they bring food too. that makes life so much easier :)
