Hi! We are Marina and Alexander (42 and 48 y.old). I am a psychologist and Alexandr develops websites. Our hobby is photography: I take photos of homeless animals, so they could find home faster, Alexander preffers people as models:). We do some sport (gym) and are fond of reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Once I travelled to Dubai and I liked the spirit of total politeness and сorrectness in behaviour. There were so different people there ( arabs, indians, japanese, philipinos)- with different culture - and still they managed to live side by side in a harmony :).
I want to experience more people, more places, I want to find a part of myself there and become better.

Interests

I'm a volunteer in an Animal Society, I take photos of the homeless animals and my photos help them to find HOME.
Then of course I take photos of my friends, so it often happens that a friendly party becomes a staging show.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed a mountain only by the roap. Well, it was not a very high mountain, but if i fell down, i would be dead for sure.
I climbed till the middle of the rock, looked down, understood thet it was no way back)) and continued climbing.
On the top my legs became trembling...
