I'm Russian living and working in Oman. I'm crazy about traveling, exploring cultures and learning languages.
It would be nice if you took a couple of minutes of your time to read my profile or at least 'my home' part before requesting to stay at my place.
Note that I don't accept friend requests from the people I don't know and most likely will have no time to meet up. Can host you for max 3 days:)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

"To travel is to live" (H. C. Andersen). I belong to the people who are sure traveling is an essential and the best part of our life. Not every one, however, can afford a hotel room. Not every place has hostels (like Oman, for example). That's why I decided to host travelers, help them the way I can, share my experience of living in Oman, and show them around.
On the other hand, I love traveling myself, listening to other people's stories and experiences. Communication in one of the greatest gifts given to us. Not only is it the transfer of words and information, but also exchange of energy, getting inspiration for creativity, and motivation to live.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

There are many amazing things I've done and some of them are:
1. Was driving on a narrow winding unpaved mountain road in Oman. Pure adrenaline rush:)
2. Went to a grocery store to buy bread when it was -56C outside in Siberia. Couldn't feel my nose:)
3. Realized I don't own anyone and nobody owns me!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I would love to learn pottery, crafts, Adobe Photoshop and as many languages as my brain can handle:) I would be also happy to improve my painting and salsa skills.
