ABOUT ME

Well, if you want to see very positive person, it's me!))) I love meet new interesting people all over the world, spend time with them and get know different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

You were born for a reason, and with every new experience you trying understand that reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of one huge community of people who passioned about travel is really exciting. Couchsurfing is all about sharing the experience and helping to each other.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING and COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend told me about couchsurfing in 2012. I was using it to meet locals several times during my trips to Europe. I had been hosted and I was so lucky with my hosts. All of them were so king and ready to help us any time. It was a pleasure meet them. It is much more interesting and funnier to discover cities with local people than during an excursion.
I had spent wery nice time with people from all over the world during Couchsurfing meetings in Moscow and other cities I have been to.

Interests

I am ready to share interests with nice people, try something new.

I love street food. I know, it is unhealthy etc, but I just love it. In any country I am I try local street food. For sure I can cook.
