CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world and search for the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life the Universe and Everything =)

ABOUT ME

Here comes the confession: I'm a totally happy person who sets aims and reaches them. Sometimes it takes longer than I expect, but still. Travelling is what keeps me tuned to Life.

As for more mundane things, I am a muscovite who used to live in St.Pete and enjoyed it immensely. My husband (whom I still call a boyfriend) is a seafarer, and I only travel solo when he is at sea.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is a way, not a destination.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

...still wondering how I shall participate...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't been much into couchsurfing yet. So far, I can remember one time when we (together with two other Russians) received two travellers from somewhere in Central Europe - but that was a very brief experience.
Then, we were travelling to Venezuela with my travel companion, and stayed for a night in Paris where an awesome host, Sacha Guyon, saved us from sleeping in the street =)
And the last but not least - there was a guy, Victor da Silva, in Merida, Venezuela, who hosted us, and uploaded some authentic music on my flash-card and who we had a really nice talk with. Hey, if you are reading this, let's plan our joint trip to Istanbul, whatcha think?

Then there was a winter trip to Ufa where I met beautiful Nuriya who took us for a sledge ride over Karaguidelle river.

When in St.Pete I hosted numerous people at our rented apartment.
