CURRENT MISSION

To get to know new place, new people, new languages!

ABOUT ME

We are a married couple who decided to expand our horizons and moved out of Russia in September, 2013. First, we lived 2 years in South-East Asia. After travelling around this region, we've moved to Turkey, where we stay at the moment (and plan to stay for a while).

My husband is Evgeniy, 33, he has been working for a Russian nation-wide daily paper for all his life but now he has a tele job. We want to become 'citizens of the world', develop our internet income and multiply our travel destinations.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a personal philosophy really... I live my life for moments which enrich it. Mostly it means new experience - in trying different food, activities, hobbies, languages and visiting new places of course. All material possesions may be destroyed or taken away. What can never be taken away is our age, emotions, memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I spent the whole day to fill in this profile! :) Don't want to be another blank profile somewhere around the bottom. At the moment we can host up to 2 persons, as there is one spare bedroom in our apartment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

At first, it was hanging out only. We have met with a few great guys in Thailand and had amazing time together, it seemed we could talk forever about everything - this always happens when you meet someone from a different culture.

Then we couched in Singapore - that was the best introdustion to Couchsurfing!

Now we can host, as we live in a spacious apartment, where there is one extra room and a bathroom. We would love to meet new interesting people!

Interests

I love web-developing, practicing English, picking up some new languages, writing articles for our website, watching some TV shows and just waliking and talking, enjoying life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That's a tricky question, made me type and retype the answer over and over again :) I'd say that so far the most amazing thing in my lifetime is coming to realize what amazing power bring the words 'YES, I CAN DO THAT' when you say them to yourself and you mean it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am afraid I don't quite get what I am asked to write in this field. Probably that's because I truly believe that you learn when you are prepared to learn. People have their own filters and lenses, and you may want them to learn A from you, but they learn B and C - and nothing can be done about it! :) Which, telling the truth, I like.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you a lot about blogging and independent travelling 'cause that's what we have learnt to do for the last 2 years. I can't say that we are successful the way we thought we would be, but anyway, still no need for going to the office 5 days a week :)
