To enjoy Warsaw and understand Polish people

ABOUT ME

I'm easy-going, but tactful. I prefer comfort, healthy food, adequacy, but I often ready to risk for adventures, new amazing experiance and interesting material for the articles and books I write. It is important for me to stay honest and polite, not to be late, keep promises. I appreciate good things people do for me and try not to be indebted. I admire meeting new people, talking, watching their life and sometimes participate)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing changed my life. That is just another level of travelling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was to Portugal once in summer and to France once in winter, travelling with couchsurfing. After that I wrote guidebooks for Russian tourists. They are now bestsellers in my country, which proves that couchsurfing is really the best way to catch the spirit of the city, to feel like a local, not tourist, to meet new interesting people, examine their habits and ways of life and write the best guide I can about their country. Last year I also was to Amsterdam with couchsurfing, that was great too and I wrote a couple of nice posts to my blog.
