I'm a marketing student from Russia currently living in Belgium. I love cooking (and trying delicious food), hiking, any kind of sport, deep movies, and good old rockish music. Things that make me happy: cheese, coffee, dogs, mountains, good company

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have first tried CS two years ago, and since then seeing a country from a locals' perspective has become my preferred way of traveling. Not only do you see touristic places and sights, but also have a chance to feel the culture of the country you're visiting, which is astonishing!
Thanks to CS I've met amazing people around the world, and we still in contact with many of them :)
