CURRENT MISSION

...life and freedome in every breath, in every movement... let my heart sing and my body dance...

ABOUT ME

That was the summer 2009, when I graduated as a journalist and left for one month to trek and rock-climb Caucasian mountains, Southern Russia. That was the beginning.

In September I found myself sailing the Norwegian fjords as a member of the crew of the wooden historic fregate "Shtandart".

Then there were sands and sunsets of my treasure continent Africa, hitch-hiking in Europe and falling in love with Paris...

Brazil greeted me after 6-months-long sailing in Mediterranean and crossing the Atlantic. Scandinavia revived my passion to motobikes and Mongolia - my freedom.

My soul has belonged in Argentina from December 2012.

I'd been climbing through Europe traveling in minivan, paragliding in the valleys of the Alps and the Andes, guiding in Patagonia and climbing the highest volcano on the planet.

This has been how it's started. So there's an endless journey in front of me: way of discovery of my own home - the most amazing planet Earth.

I love to live the way that makes me fly higher, move faster, dream further. Extreme sports, mountains, speed, new knowledge, traveling - at the end of the day it's all about discovering new worlds around us.

Another universe lives in people and that's where CS becomes my way of life too.

There're several things on my mind now: the Pacific crossing and ascends up to 7500m. The time will come for that, and that will happen soon.

I would be really happy to meet people of the same tune. Anyway, I'm a "life stories' writer" and search for beauty all around the world : )

P.S. Uff, I need to undate this, there's so much going on ... 🤣 Ask me! Or I'll get there soon :)

PHILOSOPHY

Smile - and smile will always return to you.
Ramble - that's the only way to learn if you win or not.
Act - this is our play and it has to be one of a kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love adventures, off-beat trips on earth, water and in air, where i can try myself, extreme sports and expeditions. I'll be glad to meet people with whome we can discover something new)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been couchsurfing from 2009, and that always was an experience one of a kind. Through CS I have found many true friends, interesting and advanturous people with whom I try to stay in touch.
Moreover, CS has changed my life several times and I´m sure it will happen again.
