ABOUT ME

My name is Stas (pronounced Stosh) and my roommates are my brother Seth, and our friend Troy. We are all self employed. We have a big house close to the airport and about 12 min train ride from downtown. I love to travel, and do so as often as humanly possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed in Shanghai. Great Fun! We have a guest bedroom, and 3 couches. We are all very busy, but would be open to hosting if the timing/situation is right, so it never hurts to ask.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the seagulls circle the Blue Mosque at night, illuminated by the floodlights lighting the complex. Touching the Colosseum, Pyramid of the Sun, Pyramids at Giza, Great Wall of China, Tikal, Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, and the Hagia Sophia. All things Yosemite. Complete serenity in a sea kayak floating in Deep Cove outside Vancouver BC 4/20/05. Visit Ground Zero 11/18/01....wow. Ronald Reagans funeral, GWB 2nd Inauguration. If you have the opportunity, no matter who gets elected, go to the next inauguration....you're paying for it anyway, and it is crazy.
