CURRENT MISSION

To meet people and broaden my horizon on the world's various cultures

ABOUT ME

My name is Nekrassov Simon. I am 27 years old. I have just finished grad school and now I am looking into traveling. Since I started College I never had the opportunity to travel, so as a gift to myself, I figure I would visit Europe before embarking my journey of Law School for the next 3 years. I am a laid back, welcoming, and open-minded guy always willing to meet new people and absorb as much as possible from other cultures. The world is a big place and I sincerely believe that one lifetime is not enough to fully grasp and enjoy what it has to offer. Still, we can try to maximize our efforts to get as much as possible out of life before we kick the bucket.

PHILOSOPHY

Store memories now, so when old age kicks in, one may look back and laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host whenever time permits. I just wish I could participate more than I have though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a couple from Germany and I we had a great time conversing in the evenings and sharing ideas.

Interests

Avid fan of soccer: play at least once a week in my league. I love a good book once in a while, love movies, I frequents bars (or pub)--always willing to sample a good beer. I'm into current events thorughout the world and like sampling food from all over.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I fell in a well once (obviously I lived to tell the tale.) They say people are not as unified as they used to be back in the days, but last summer I witnessed under privilege citizens occupy wall street in my hometown, NYC--that was a surprise. America voted a Black president, the world is gradually becoming a better place and that is quite refreshing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an Officer, so I can teach basic do's and don'ts of American culture.
