About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I do CS from time to time. When I started to host and was hosted in 2013 it was a bit different than nowadays. I have a feeling that now ppl who use CS mix it with Badoo or Tinder, so if you are a bit confused about real meaning of CS plz don’t use it for dating and don’t expect anything from me if you host me.

So, my mission here is to get united with the travelers and share my travel experience. I love to party, so I can also be a party guide in some parts of the world like Moscow, Milan, Ibiza, St.Petersburg, Berlin, etc. I am fond of food and wine, I have been to so many nice places, that’s why I can give you a piece of advice where you can have a good dinner, if you need it 😁

ABOUT ME

I am very positive, communicative, sociable and friendly, but at the same time I am very direct and temperamental.
I like good vibes, especially I like to create good vibes around me 😜 So, only good energy.
I don’t like people being intrusive, rude, impolite.

PHILOSOPHY
What goes around, comes all the way back around.

Tibetan Buddhism of the Diamond Way. ( Karma Kagye )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can help travellers with the place to stay in Russia. You are always welcome. I have a house in Suzdal. It is a wonderful place! But it's worth visiting only in late spring or in summer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had been traveling really a lot during last 5 years. But I didn’t use CS a lot. I often prefer not to be bothered by anyone. It happens that I use CS if I go to a completely new place or part of the world I don’t know or I have never been, so I do need superheroes to show me around.

I love cinema and always glad to share my view and opinion about some movies the way I see them.
I love the movies of Paolo Sorrentino “La grande bellezza”, “LORO”.

I listen to the different types of music.It depends on my mood.
My fav is techno, dark techno (like in Berlin clubs Trevor, Berghain, Watergate), minimal tech, deep house. But it happens that I can listen to classic music or opera like Maria Callas or Jazz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Our mind is the strongest tool of creation reality, so, whatever I ever wanted in my life, it always came true.
Once I had been to NYC, I survived there almost alone. I was only 19 y.o. 😁 It was unforgettable. I swear.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to think positive and act positive, how to enjoy the life and be happy and blessed.

I want to learn something about buddhism.
I want to speak Tibetan & Chinese.
