I joined this project quite a while ago, and i love it!:) I lived in Russia, Boston, San Diego, and recently moved to NYC. I'm usually pretty busy during the week, but I try to make time for good things and people. If I do have free time, I will be really happy to explore New York with you or to help you with anything I can. If you are thinking about visiting my (new) city (I'm originally from Moscow) - don't hesitate, because it is totally worth it.

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy and have no regrets, respect yourself and others

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently just trying to be part of this great community by attending the meet ups and different events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Italy in 2009 and I have to say it was legen-waitforit-dary!!! :)) This project is even better than I'd expected. Not only you get to see the country through sightseeing, but you also get to know it through people, traditions, characters... Now I'm thinking of exploring other countries this way.. can't wait till my next holidays!:)
