Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We just relocated to Durham, NC. We have a guest bedroom, and it might be available once in a while. My husband and I live between two countries/continents- Ukraine and USA. We work a lot, but we travel every time we have an opportunity.
Depending where we are at the moment, we could meet for a drink or just for a walk.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We haven't surfed yet. We've rented apartments and rooms in different places/countries. But this whole idea of free accommodations still sounds too good:)) Hope to stay with some cool couch-surfer some time soon, and host as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a camel in Nubian Village, held a little crocodile and a baby tiger in my arms in Egypt, and swam around the most beautiful coral reefs in Red Sea.
I hit the dunes on 4-wheeler and did some sand yachting in Sahara Desert.
Crossed the Atlantic ocean both by airplane and by cruise ship.
Traveled by car from Kiev, Ukraine to Istanbul, Turkey, through Moldova, Romania, and Bulgaria.
Crossed the Bosporus Bridge from Europe to Asia, and back.
Explored the United States from coast to coast.
Visited Rome and Vatican.
Moved to the U.S., and got married))
