Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Inspite of I can't host, I will be glad to show u my city - St.Petersburg. As for me - one of the most gorgeous places at list in Europe. I know a lot about it's history, architecture and attractions, and about secret places aswell)

Also can go to local places, as bars and pubs. If you like football, we always will find something interesting to talk about)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I rarely serf, since I often combain trips with work (and its not really comfortable to use someone's hospitallity, when you need to spend 7 hours at home with laptop). But I always appreciate a possibility to meet with local folk and other travellers.

Also I like to show my city to travellers and meet new people, when Im not abroad.

Since I can host only in some months, I have only a small hosting experience, but it all was very nice and pleasant.

And yes, Im really happy, that in couple of years I made some really good friends with cs and we still keep in touch.
