Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm convinced that the best way to learn a new country is to know it through the people.
My best trips are the best only because i met wonderful people on my way.
You`ll forget the names of the streets or historical monuments, but you won`t forget the special moments you`ve shared with people.
Too many words "people" in this text:) , but it`s the reason we I`m here.

Interests

I adore mountains! I`m going to the mountains every season of the year: for hiking, for camping, for snowboarding.
I`m fully sharing the words of the Soviet writer Vysotsky:
"Better than mountains can only be mountains,
On which I have not been yet."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I went hiking alone for 2 days to the mountains with a huuuuge backpack, but actually spend there 5 days without enough food, without any map, even without a raincoat (luckily there wasn`t raining those days:). But I`ve met lots of great people there who helped me to survive :) and made a good company for me!

Second thing is that I`ve jumped with a parachute alone for the only first time.
