CURRENT MISSION

several. the first is - help people to take the best of their life and make it bright. the second - to travel all over the world, see different countries and how people are doing there

ABOUT ME

i like to wake up late.
and yes, i'm living and even working with it ))
but of course, that's not a rule for the traveling period.

i'm flexible, i adapt easily to current environment and circumstances. i follow my feelings. i live today, but i always opt for development. and i believe that everything happens for a reason.

PHILOSOPHY

everything in the world is balanced. the energy doesn't appear from nowhere and it doesn't disappear to nowhere. we'll get back all we give. so, we'd better try to give good stuff :)

a person has only one life and he's free to choose the way he's going to live it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting, surfing, meeting, helping, sharing, traveling

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i could compare couchsurfing with hitch-hiking.
you do it not because it's free, you do it because it's your life style.
after i've hitchhiked for two weeks from SPb to Odessa and back, i realized that there's definetely no way to express how grateful and thankful you feel for someone who helps you by picking you up at night in the midle of nowhere. me personally, i feel like whatever i can give in gratitude, will never be enough for this help of people who don't even know me.

then, when i know that i can share something, i will do that. because i still feel i need to give something for all those good moments i had in my life.
i've now been on both sides (though i don't have a car
to offer, i have my home). and i've never had any bad
experience. no, i did once. i was hitch-hiking from
moscow to saint-petersburg and a taxi driver stopped
just to tell me that i should work and earn money
instead of travelling for free (what he said was a lot
times more rude :)). well, that was unpleasant, yes. but that was only once and never happened again.

on the road usually you have less than 10 seconds to decide whether you trust this person or not. on CS you have a lot more. but basically, trust - is the most important thing you can share.
