Hello there! My name is Ivan, I'm from Moscow, Russia. I work as a sea kayak guide on Kamchatka peninsula and spend the rest of my time traveling as much as I can :) Traveling, adventures and taste of freedom are the most important things in my life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So, why Couchsurfing? When I'm traveling I want to meet interesting, kind, special and open-minded people. I believe that Couchsurfing units such people together! It is also really important for me to see the life of people all around the world.
