About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I want to see and touch as much of the world as possible.

ABOUT ME
Apparently I don't have any special talent or magic power, but I try to do my best at using what I have.
Most of all I like learning foreign languages and plunging into different cultures. I do believe in peace on Earth and want to embrace and absorb the best of every non-violent culture.

PHILOSOPHY
Walk a mile in someone's shoes and then judge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I cannot host you at the moment as I move here and there, but if you are in Moscow, I can show you this city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am a newby, I couchsurfed for two weeks in Sicily. It was like having lived several lifes each squeezed into a couple of days. Although I had to cope with some moments this is my best travelling experience so far. I have learnt a lot of things and became a little bit more mature.

Learning new, meeting old friends and new people, nature, mountains, volcanoes, geography, cold winters(better in theory) and hot summers, foreign languages, movies, music, concerts, medieval architecture, museums, castles, history (for tourists), Tolkien's world, high towers, dreams, panoramas

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not used to teaching people, but I like the idea of sharing personal experience. We could exchange talks in English, German or Russian.
I would be glad to teach or be taught some local peculiarities, this is the most exciting part of the travelling.
