CURRENT MISSION

Creating a better world

ABOUT ME

I'm Russian, but lived in a few places over the years, currently I'm in US. I love traveling, meeting new people and learning about other cultures. I am an artist and an energy healer.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to be doing what you hate or worse yet to hate yourself. Follow your heart's calling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf occasionally and try to host fellow couchsurfers whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in France, Turkey and Italy, hosted several surfers when I lived in Moscow.

Before I hosted anyone through CS I used to be an AIESEC member and I hosted three interns - two girls from Taiwan and a guy from Turkey. That has been probably one of the best experiences in my life, it changed me and those I hosted for the better, it was inspiring, heart-warming and significant.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a quite a bookworm, so listing books would take pages really. As for music - I like a lot of styles ranging from classic rock'n'roll to psychobilly and hardcore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canyoning in France, watching the sunrise from top of mount Fuji in Japan, hitchhiked from Paris to Montpellier(south of France) and ended up in Barcelona.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Japanese and Russian language, basics of energy work
