Hello, hallo, hola and привет to everyone! My name is Lev and I am 28 years old. Originally I am from Russia. However, in 2012 I moved to Germany. Currently I am living and studying in Cholula (Puebla), Mexico.

I am studying international business (double degree) at the University of Applied Science Münster (Germany) and at the UDLAP (Cholula, Mexico).

The things that really matter to me are self development, my family, friends and helping others. I consider myself as a honest, authentic, respectful and disciplined person who has a lot of interests, hobbies and passions.

My main passions are music, sports and foreign languages. Maybe because my both parents are sport teachers I have been doing sports my whole life. Nowadays I do basically fitness, yoga and acrobatics. I am also in love with travelling! Surely like the majority here I want to travel the entire world!

Moreover, I really do like foreign languages. My mother tongue is Russian, but I also speak fluently German, English and Spanish. Besides, I've learnt some French and I am learning Portuguese (and already have in my mind the next 2 languages😄)

I've been vegetarian since my birth, but about 10 years ago I became vegan. You should not worry about that if you are an omnivore. I never had any problems with ohter people because of being vegan. For example two of my best friends (as well as the majority of my relatives) eat meat and it has never affected my attitude toward them.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I suppose that for many people Couchsurfing may be only an opportunity to save their money and not to pay for a hostel. It is certainly an important advantage of this platfrom, but for me it is not the main point. For me Couchsurfing is an opportunity to get to know new people around the whole world, to speak with them in their languages! Sharing ideas, thoughts, cultures and experience! I also think it is the best way to get to know a new place with the local people.

As soon as I have established in a country and got a home, I would like to become a host for other travellers, because I believe that we should help each other and that every person can teach you something.

Due to the cultural exchange we destroy the stereotypes and we learn to unterstand better each other.
