Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find couchsurfing a very challenging and rewarding experience. Hosting somebody or staying at somebody's place is a great opportunity for both — meeting new people and exploring different cultures.

I hosted couchsurfers several times and now, I think for a while have become a couchsurfer myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first trip by plane. After the plane landed for a long time I couldn't believe that everything around was real. Felt like a cosmonaut stepping on a new planet for the first time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would teach you Russian with pleasure as I've got some experience of teaching it to non-Russian speaking students and would be happy to have some lessons of French or German. J'ai etudie le langue francais a l'universite und ich jetzt studire Deutsch.

Besides I can teach to cook some Russian dishes that I'm already able to make.
I'm not a real cook of course, but a really curious amateur, trying new methods of cooking and dishes. If you're into cooking, don't hesitate! I'd be happy to learn!

What I Can Share with Hosts
