Hi! I grew up in Moscow. Tried myself in different types of art - music, literature, theater etc but wasn't satisfied with the level of my talent in it. Somehow I've started quite different thing by opening a place for everyone to come and be a part of it. My first project was called Treehouse, it was a small space in the center of Moscow where everyone could come, have a nice time, be open to everyone, participate in it. It was based on free donations only and every guest of it was more like a co-owner of this space or micro-tenant - by leaving free donations people were sharing all the expenses this place had so it could exist for them. After it become too popular we've decided to open another place but because of the super-expensive rent price I wasn't sure that it will succeed only on free donation basis so I kind of formalized the way people leave money by asking them to pay once a minute. It became even more successful, now we've got 14 Ziferblats all over the world and it's growing!

I am the founder of this thing: www.ziferblat.net

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

Because I love this concept. What I do with my own thing called Ziferblat is quite the same, I like informal connection between people, desire to help and to be open.
