About Me

CURRENT MISSION

two lifetimes, one world - so little time, so much to see

ABOUT ME

Stanyslava and Alex, nice to meet you!
Our trip around the world began in November 2005 and were not able to stop ever since.

We have traveled all over South and Central America via a variety modes of transportation, became PADI Diving Instructors, and decided to do all possible to continue life on the road. We spent July '08 to May '09 on an ethno-zoological expedition to Africa and wrote a Russian language naturalist's guidebook to the continent.
After a short (3 month) visit to a far corner of Southeast Asia (Indonesia and Malaysia), and an even shorter business trip to Russia and Ukraine, we went back to Africa, where we now live.

See stusik-i-sharik.livejournal.com for a blog about our adventures!

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Before we surfed, and now it's time to equalize our CS karma :) - so we host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We were always afraid a CS experience is a "Jack-in-a-box" - you never know what or who you'll get. But after joining kvashonka on a few CS invites we opened our own CS account
