I was born in a small and cold town in Siberia, it's very quiet place. In the winter time we have -40 degrees, sounds terrible!
Before I had studied linguistic in university, but after my first year of education I decided to leave it, bought a one way ticket and now I'm traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of CS because you have a chance to know people which you would hardly meet without CS.
It's a great opportunity to share experiences, know something about traditions, culture and just spend time with interesting people from different places of our awesome world.

Please, let's write references to each other, it helps everyone to find new hosts and surfers from all over the world, yeah? :)
