We are looking for kind guests motivated to stay with us. You will be inevitable exposed to interaction with our son, he is very active and will not allow guests to ignore him. If you want to thank the host - please bring fish, cheese or sweets.

Some old motto, which I still find suitable
Don't procrastinate, live the life, enjoy every day of your life. But don't be selfish, life is brighter, when there are people to share interesting time with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We have a place to sleep and we're enjoy helping others. Guest, stories, memories for free - that's what we subscribe for!

Interests

I've participated in a few autonomous 2-3 weeks trekking routes in mountains of Kazakhstan and France. Enjoy cycle-to-work activities and road cycling especially. I like to organize things, activities, other people, etc.
I enjoy reasonable drinking and mad about good food. I do educate my son from time to time xD.
