Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host the serfers who wants to see our big and beautiful city. I try to talk not only about the sights of the city, but also about our culture. My husband plays on the ancient Russian musical instrument - harp(kantele) and sings to our guests the ancient Russian folk songs. I believe that this site gives people the opportunity to share cultural traditions. Gives you the opportunity to get acquainted with the real life of people lives all over the world.
My first degree in tourism, but I believe that the traditional way of traveling with groups, hotel accommodation and communicating only with guides makes it impossible to know the cultural roots of other countries and cultural traditions of their inhabitants.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience as the host and as the surf is completely positive. I am extremely pleased that in our world full of alienation and loneliness. People have the opportunity to meet, socialize, make friends and get to know each other.
Last year I started to study at the Master pedagogy Montessori at the University of Vic. After the first part of training, came to Spain my husband and daughter and we traveled in Spain and have always stayed with hosts.
It was an amazing experience! We met so many different wonderful people!
Experiences were so intense and rich that my daughter all year remember all the hosts and asked when we're going back to Spain.
And this fall, we are waiting for the guests in Moscow of one of our Spanish hosts. I hope this beautiful cultural exchange experience to continue this year too!
