if not to tell you that I love to travel and to meet new people, which is quite obvious for people from this website...

well,

my name is Moro,
I was born in Tomsk city, Siberia.
big part of my last years I spent travelling (oh, I still can't avoid mentioning this fact).
also I used to work as:
- translator
- barista (while living in Novosibirsk)
- teacher (while living in Tomsk)
- street musician (while hitchhiking)
- hostel receptionist (in Beijing)
and lots of part-time jobs in different parts of the world (funny stories included!)

I have several dreams:
- to climb Everest and Annapurna
- to learn how to dive (but I am extremely afraid of water)
- to make parashooting jump
- to hug a platypus ^^
- to dance in the fog at Yangzi river
- to see the sunrise at Gang river
- to become a yoga-teacher
- to get master degree in gender studies
- to hitchhike in North America and South America
- to see seals in wildlife
and many-many other dreams

what to tell more.

I am a human rights activist (at least, Ｉtry to be). In my opinion, all people are equal.

I am a vegetarian (I don't eat meat and fish but eat eggs and dairy products).

I travel everywhere with a little grey toy-seal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to be honest, I don't have many experience of being a host, because most of recent months I spent travelling.

but I have great experience of being hosted - all the people who hosted me were sooooo awesome~
I'm really happy to have a possibility to know them.

I would like to have more and more experience of couchsurfing - to find new friends everywhere in the world.
