Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet new people from different countries and make new friends. I love the idea of cultural exchange, having the community where people are always ready to help each other. I'm looking forward to finishing the renovation in my apartment in St. Petersburg and getting back to hosting couchsurfers. Meanwhile, I am discovering Europe.
