I am writing a book about the most incredible stories which happened with me or with the people around me. I collect this stories travelling from one place to another

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This story happened to me in Lille, France. I have been completely lost in this small city, I have no place to stay for a night, and no clue where I was. I was walking in nowhere, trying to Google at least my location, then a stranger passed me by saying "I was walking like this the other days and dropped my phone". I stopped to figure out who was this unknown man, we started talking about Lille, about Russia. I ended up staying at his place for a couple days even though he met me occidentaly. I was remarkably thankful to him and tryed to give him some Russian lessons in order to express my gratitude. At the end he told me: " why should we be afraid of strangers? Because for them, we are also strangers. Isn't better just to get to know and break this ice of awkwardness "

Interests

I am passionated with literature and languages. But I love not only to read buy to write in any language I can speak. Though my passion to languages and literature goes along with the cinema. I have even played myself in couple short movies but mostly I prefer to write screenplays and watch the actors put the life in the characters.

I would be incomplete if I don't mention sport. It's not only my hobby it's my life
I've been doing judo since a kindergarden but always dreamt of playing football. So here I am now, playing for my University team

Teach, Learn, Share

Last summer I was in Nice on a stage, learning French. I spent a wonderful time at this marvelous shore, and it was time to move on. My train was scheduled at 9 a.m. so I went to sleep like usual at 3 in the morning (it's just too hot earlier). I was dreaming so well that at some point I thought it cannti be that good, too good, I checked my watches, it was 8:45. My heart went down. I rushed to the railway station, picking everything up on the way. I managed to be on the station at 9.10. But that day the train was on time. I was broken down. Of course I took a new train ticket but I didn't want anymorry to spend a single day there. I went to the beach, but everything was disgusting to me. Then I saw here she dropped her hat and it was hustling from her to me. I gave it back to her and she sat near me. Then everything happened like in a drama, we fel in love (at least I think this way) but I had to leave, there were teats and promises but like in a bad movie (with a happy end) we met half year after and now I think she is the only one I need in this world.

Never get upset or regret anything, my friends. You never know what I'd awaiting you around the corner

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have lived in different cities, with different cultures and the stories I have gathered would amaze, teach you, make you smile, may be drop a tear. I bet also everyone is curious about our tiny world. And the best way to learn culture is to learn language!! I would be delighted to give not boring lessons!

I haven't mentioned that I love cooking and some of my favorite dishes: lazania, blins ( pancakes in Russian) or mashed potatoes with mushroom sauce - are told be very yammy
