My motto is: to travel, to learn, and to share.
It's amazing when you visit places you've never been before, meet extraordinary people with crazy stories, embrace the challenge of new environment. Traveling is all about it!

I discovered CS when decided to visit Italy all by myself and had, to be honest, really tied budget. I was surpised and happy when Paolo Priscino accepted my request. I stayed with hem for 3 says in Rome, and it was amazing experience! He showed me local Rome with all bright colorsof it's culture. I didn't expected that CS is waaaay more than just a free bad. Since then I hadn't had a chance to travel due to my year of graduation/application to Master programme. Now i'm back on the track and ready to explore more and more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The real traveling is not through places you've been (although it's important), but through people you've met on your way. Besides, the best way to explore the city/country/region is to dive in it with locals.

Interests

Nature: mountains, clear sky, ocean, fields of flowers;

Big cities: frantic pace, architecture, cozy places;

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Celebrated New year 2014 in the street. :D I was homeless that night in foreign country. Hovewer, that was the best celebration ever! If you are interested, I would like to talk about it in person. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can: rollerblade with you, teach how to play on guitar, dispel stereotypes about Russians, talk for hours about traveling and other different useless staff :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

There is an expression "The breadth of Russian soul", so i always put great efforts into every acquaintance, sharing and giving all i know. I DO care. And really hope that CS experience with me will be an enjoyable one :)
