ABOUT ME

I´m Russian. In 2015 we (my wife and me) finished our world round trip by bicycle, boats, on foot and by 4wd car which started in 2010.
Our track was: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Lao, China and Tibet area, Kazakhstan, Russian Siberia via Krasnodar (our home), Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina from Patagonia (of course))) via lake district (by boat) to the very north, Bolivian and Peruvian Altiplano, lake Titikaka and Amazonia (also by boat), Ecuador, again equator and Pacific ocean but its opposite shore.

We like being helpful and interesting guests and hosts, we respect your and our houses, like animals and nature. Like sun, fun and cooking, mechanics and mountains, active and tranquil. So, we’re different.
From 2016 we’re at home and you’re welcome.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to find better way to be alive and do this more then hundred years - for body and soul

To provide a nice place for staying.
We like cooking for friends.

Like sharing our energy and knowledge, if somebody needs it

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS - is not big.
By bicycle - often use WarmShowers which is community of touring cyclists.
We hosted a lot of travelers in our house in Russian Krasnodar.
Since school I was travelling a lot and my main idea is when you use something, leave it on the same condition or better.
