I really enjoy travelling, since, to my opinion, it is the best way to change your mind, to experience some new emotions. I like to tackle difficulties, which are an essential part of any journey. That's why I prefer some unexplored ways and roads. I often try to look at things differently and experience the pleasure of finding things out about the world. (:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsufring, as well as hitchhiking, is a great opportunity to make traveling not just about visiting some places, but also to meet new people, share views and ideas. Espessially interesting to know how features an habits of people in various countries and regions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I missed my suburban train, which was the last one that day, and in order not to waste the evening, me and my friend spontaneously decided to ride a freight train passing by. Finnally, instead of considered destination, we found ourself in some small town in Vladimir Oblast and gained a lot of emotions and feeling of actual freedom. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning to play ukulele, so I'll be always glad to play to you, to teach you something I'm already able to play, and, of course, it would be a great pleasure to learn something from more skilled guys, as I'm not really good in music.

I also enjoy trying understanding foreing languages and I'm always glad to practice and to learn something new about it. Certainlly, I can teach you a bit of my native language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Impressions, emotions and experience of the travel, and some other adventures, knowledge of my native region and also a lot more other things, I believe.

Would be glad if some story would be inspiring for you :)
