About Me

Сейчас я почти не принимаю гостей. Если получится - здесь всё, что необходимо знать, если вы говорите по-русски: http://domvsuzdale.ru/cs-russian.html

===============================================================================================
I hosted almost nobody since, I guess, November 2016, so for now this "maybe" in my profile means rather "maybe not", even though I'm still hoping to come back and be able to welcome you someday, and there's always a chance for "maybe tomorrow"...
===============================================================================================

je parle français / io parlo italiano / yo hablo español / eu falo português / ich spreche Deutsch / ik spreek nederlands / i might be able to understand a few words in some other languages, but not too much.. =)

I always *LOVED* foreign languages but it took some 20 years to actually believe that it's never too late and nothing ever is impossible. Ever...

... as much as I love the languages, I wish I could *play musical instruments* - this is something I really miss and regret that it didn't really happen to me when I was a child, but yet again I'm hoping that it's never too late ) ..

===============================================================================================

PLEASE, do read the HOUSE RULES section, and then there are some useful links scattered around, they might be helpful =)

Anyway, I know how desperate/hopeless you might be trying to find ANY place to stay for I tried it myself and it almost never worked for me, so if I have a slightest chance to host you, it will be my pleasure to answer: please, come =)

My personal and very special thanks to Martin Šťastný for making me believe in Couchsurfing again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every place and every journey is empty without the people we meet on our way. That's why I'm here. To hopefully make this world a little less empty for you if we happen to meet someday.

We have quite a few twin-cities around the World:

- Rothenburg o.d. Tauber (Germany)
- Cles (Italy)
- Windham (USA)
- Évora (Portugal)
- Bardejov (Slovakia)
- Česká Lípa (Czech Republic)
- Loches (France)
- Shangrao (China)...

I didn't have a chance to meet anyone from some of these cities (yet), but I do have a lot of friends in some others and this is actually how we learned that traveling can be so much more than just sightseeing, so when we keep coming back to those places, we come to see the people we know and remember. For always.

Interests

I enjoy...
- Making gifts
- Learning to play music
- Cooking (teach me! =)
- Learning foreign languages
- Traveling (to speak them)
- Translating (eventually) my town's website into all the languages that I'm yet to learn: http://www.suzdalonline.ru =)

Music, Movies, and Books

Julia Westlin / Sting / Sarah McLachlan / Mylene Farmer / Laura Pausini / Blackmore's Night / Walk off the Earth

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the dawn in Venice..
....and I've had 42 days of traveling around Europe all alone, meeting some new and old friends - it was a miracle.. )

Teach, Learn, Share

As soon as I finally have a kitchen (someday), please, teach me cooking =), and I will remember you every time I cook this recipe for someone else.. )

What I Can Share with Hosts

I wish I could be your inspiration (if you need some =)
