Hey everyone!

Me and my wife Kristina decided to discover this world and its wonderful people with the help of CS. We are friendly , opened and grateful for everything which life offers to us every day. We are always happy to learn something new and appreciate peoples' differences. We think that new cultural experience and exchange enriches us all and makes this planet more tolerable and happier place to live.

Life credos:
-Take care of those who are weaker than you.
-Help when you are able to help.
-Never betray yourself.
-Never give up, try until the very last attempt.
-Enjoy life as a game :)

Favorite quotes:
The quantity of days in your life is not so important, the quantity of life in them is the thing which matters.

We like: nature, open hearted people, kind humour
We dislike: cruelty, arrogance, impudence
We believe in : karma, Universal mind

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

We tried to do some standard beach-and-palm-all-inclusive vacations, but found it rather boring because tourism has nothing to do with real local culture.
