About Me

ABOUT ME
Nowadays i live in Saint-Petersburg, Russia and work as signal processing engineer. I feel myself all settled down and happy with that feeling.
I have spend 13 months in Asia (11 in Indonesia as a Dharmasiswa student, 2014-2013) and 3 - as a long-term volunteer in South Korea, Wando. This experience helped me to understand what i really wanna do with my life. I don't want "to quit everything and travel" anymore as i wanted few years ago. I feel that it's more important to find what you really wanna do in this life. Traveling is cool, but it is not the main thing for me anymore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As you can see from my experience, i'm mostly surfer, not a host.
Once in 2012, in Seoul i decided to try being hosted and since that time i'm a CS member. My hosts was always warm, welcoming people and i will never forget that experience.
I'm grateful to all hosts who have ever hosted me because deu to them i saw really good standarts of hosting. I wish one day i will do the same to some traveller.
