About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel, communicate, learn, understand

ABOUT ME

Alex: I am young and communicative guy. I travel a lot and usually my wife accompanies me. I think it is my favorite occupation in my life!
Right now I am a PhD student and I try to connect my trips with the professional experience.

Olga: I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best (c) by Marylin Monroe

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Usually we stay at couchsurfers. Most probably the reason is that our native town is not very touristic place (it is Siberia, famous by its frosts, snow, and bears). But we can well afford to be hosts! So surfers, you guys are welcome to our cozy apartment!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We stayed at couchsersurfer places when we had our Brazil and China (Alex only) trips, and we met a lot of amazing CS people from all over the world! Thanks to all of them!
