i love Moscow, cats & Arctic Monkeys. also travelling, learning new languages, reading, watching movies, going to different concerts and meeting new people! kinda proud of my sense of humor. not good at writing autobiographies, though - IMHO, stuff like that is better being discussed than written. so my following answers to the standard questions may sound ordinary, boring and kinda stupid (yeah, and i'm humble as well and don't like advertising myself). i'm also grammar-nazi, vegan & sabbatarian

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

as i travel to new countries sometimes, i find it cool to get to know other people's life "from the inside" and to make new friends - probably the reason why most of the people do couchsurfing :) i also got to know few great people via couchsurfing
