About me and Nastia:

I love meeting people and discussing how they see life. I can be pretty fun, but I also like having a relaxed atmosphere sometime. As a consequence, I tend to be up for anything when I'm exploring a new place!
Nastia (my girlfriend)- she is an artist from Russia, sometimes a little introverted, but I can be too. She is unable to speak English at the moment, which might hamper your conversations with her a wee bit. I'm still trying to think of what I should put here, but I am blanking. When I was six, I had a pet anole and used to love digging for things in mud. Now I am much older and have no pets. P.S.- Nastia found out what I just wrote here and wants to make sure that you know that we don't have any mud in our apartment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In a word- great, and that's not just about the hosts. I've met fellow travelers who are just incredible people. I love this network because of the opportunity it gives me to step outside my comfort zone and do what I love- meet new people, learn from them, explore the world, and just have a good time. I lived in Russia for about two years all together, but I have found that some of the most insightful experiences that I've had into Russian culture and daily life for Russians have occurred while just spending a couple of nights couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eaten shaurma in more than ten countries and lived to tell the tale.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English, or some Russian or Ukrainian :)
I make a mean goulash, but otherwise would love to learn how to cook better, or how to do any basic survival skill that I might need after the apocalypse. I find languages interesting.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A kidney, if they're the right blood type.
