CURRENT MISSION

Make myself and people around happy

ABOUT ME

I'm curious, ready for a change, easy-going person. I like meeting new people and getting to know how life goes at other places. I prefer late mornings with good coffee and cozy evenings with friends and good wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love hosting people from all around the world and get to know how things work out there. I am also open to guide around Vancouver and tell about Canadian and Russian traditions and culture. I surf myself to get deeper insights in the local culture and atmosphere.

I moved to Vancouver, Canada a few months ago and previously I was hosting people in the Hague, from all over Europe. This location is new and still unexplored.

Interests

I prefer active weekends, like hiking in the mountains, cycling, kitesurfing, going to the beach or doing yoga.
I like art, e.g. expressionists' paintings and cubists' drawings, architecture, especially Art Nouveau, history, let it be of XXth century, and books about art, architecture and history :) I like to learn how things work, for example, how wines are made, how fabrics are woven, and how coffee is grown.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My skydiving experience is something which I keep recalling. I've never seen such a huge and deep sky after that :)
Now I'm doing kitesurfing and I'm still amazed every time I step on the board :)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are interested, I can teach you how to cook Russian borsch and Swiss fondue. I'd be happy to share my travel experiences and tell about different countries where I lived.
I can also tell you a thing or two about personal asset management and investment, it's my job after all :)
