CURRENT MISSION

explore the world!

ABOUT ME

Born Russian, raised by Jewish community, educated by Korean people.

I'm resourceful, patient, inquisitive, painstaking and a little bit creative.

I am explorer and searcher. I like to explore the life, to understand, what is it for. What it has to offer. I don't want to follow the one way, because no one know where it leads to. But I love people who follows their dreams.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get..." (W. Grumm).

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can be an excellent guide in Saint-Petersburg. I can help in many different ways.

Surfing helps me a lot. Sometimes I spent even more time figuring out people in the place I am going to, than roaming around cities and museums, you know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Munich of August, 2010 + Berlin of August, 2010. Also a lot experience in South Korea in 2011. And it was magnificent. SO many people helped me out.
Then I've couchsurfed a little also in Romania previous summer.
And last December I met beautiful Xinxin and her friends, who hosted me in Beijing.
Then there was once at Norway, in a beautiful city of Oslo.

Until now I didn't have much chance of giving back the CS community by hosting people, cause I was living in dorms mainly. But hopefully soon I will get my place and we will see.
