Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We like having new people around. From time to time, we my visit local events to get some fresh air, too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has all started with Olga living in a flat with two couch surfers and spending a wonderful evening with their guest. Then Olga moved to Germany, met Ilya, and they revived this account together.

Since then, we had been hosting many people in Heidelberg and enjoying hanging out with the local couch surfing community until we got married, started moving around and finally ended up in Aachen.

Interests

Olga: languages, board games, sewing, swing dancing, reading books
