As a child I wanted to become a TV presenter in the Russian TV program "Around the World", I thought that this is the best job - to travel and be paid for it :-)
My real job is connected to texts writing, editing and translation and with business travels as well. I also like to travel with my family on holidays. I'm married, have two kids - boy (Alexander, 15) and girl (Sofya, 9).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After business travelling in hotels looking the same in every country I want to explore real life, meet people, learn more about them and their lifestyles
