Hey! My name is Ollie:) nice to meet you!

I'm inspired by people who are ready to leave all the difficulties and troubles behind and just do what they want, despite anything or anyone. In people I admire bravery of spirit and pure kindness of heart, meanwhile I nurture these qualities in myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of travelling is meeting different people and discovering more about their ways of life, traditions and life views on the things that surround and unite all of us:) I won't hesitate to tell you more about my life and share some experience, so, please, don't either!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once participated in a volunteering project in Sicily, where I met lots of nice young people and very friendly Italian locals.

But probably the dearest memory of mine is connected to my wee one-day trip in Scotland, when i was staying there for two weeks. I wanted to see Loch Ness and its surroundings, for it was my biggest childhood dream. To get there I needed to make a bunch of changes, taking trains and buses, starting from Aberdeen (where i was staying) finishing at Drumnadrochit. My friend was not so excited about waking up at 6am for it, so I went all on my own. It was cold outside, the early January, but it was beautiful. I saw sheep graze freely, the weather change every 15 minutes from sunny to cloudy, Urquhart Castle and, of course, Loch Ness itself. Standing there, just at the top of the castle, gazing at the beauty of the Scottish nature, I never felt any happier and calmer. My dream had just become true.
