CURRENT MISSION

Trying to see as much as I can while living in the US

ABOUT ME

I really like to travel and explore new places. I don't like a nature so much (I think it's not very good but it's true. Actually I did't know that but after visiting Niagara Falls and Grand Canyon I realized that) but I'm excited when I walk around big cities with many skyscrapers, wide boulevards, old and new buildings, cozy squares. I know that each city, Moscow or New York, Prague or DC, Chicago or Miami, they all have their own architecture, people, customs, and so on. I really enjoy opening new places

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not so long to stay in one place. We need to be open-minded, to get as much information as we can, to meet people all over the world, learn languages and travel

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I was a host for several times while living in San Diego, CA and I traveled several times before as a surfer. Then I stopped and now I'm back)) I have couple friends now from CS community, the idea is just great.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had total three vacations when I was surfing - in San Antonio, in Chicago and in LA. That was really great experience

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've travelled a lot around the US and a bit around the world. Every place is unique. I am always happy when I go somewhere, whether little town in Wisconsin or fabulous city like San Francisco or New York.

Teach, Learn, Share

CS is so great opportunity to explore the world and people around. When I was in Russia and I didn't speak any foreign language, I didn't feel bad. But now, learning English and Spanish, meeting so many people all over the world, easily communicating with them I guess that people who don't learn a language lose a lot.
Now I know enough people from different countries whom I can speak with, understand them, learn many things such as customs, traditions, behavior, and at the same time I can help them to understand Russian character, not really opened for foreigners because of the history. It sounds unusual for Russians to have foreign friends but in the US, Europe and many other countries it's so normal. I want it becomes normal in Russia too. Internet is not only source to meet people and get friends but live communication, meeting people in person - that's the best way to enjoy the world
