Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a really communicative person. Love traveling and meeting new people, this gives me inspiration and helps to appreciate life. I believe that when you visit country you have to start by talking to locals. So I make new friends and gather cool stories. Also, I destroy clichés about Russians, especially that they are gloomy and depressive, but smiley, warm and very friendly
