I have very strict rules in my house.
And you must follow them if you want to be my guest.
1 You can come and leave whenever you want.
Early in the morning, late at night
2 When I sleep, you can do whatever you need.
Sound isolation in my house is pretty good
And I sleep pretty sound
3 If you break something, I care not
4 If you need to sleep a lot and you are really tired, just relax and sleep as much as you need
5 If you need a company to explore the city, my friends and I can hang out till we drop dead
6 You may or may not hang out with me around the city or you can just have a shelter and a sweet evening talk
7 You can smoke and drink
8 Cook, please, your products
My fridge is mostly empty. I bother not to buy something.
If there is something, I will share. But don't expect me to cook (I can if I am in mood)
9 I give and share bedclothes, blankets, towels, some clothes, pieces of advice, interesting ideas
10 My house is for hospitality, friendliness, positive emotions, cultural exchange if you have something else on your mind, don't even try bothering me
11 W-Fi: norway password: cocacola
12 If you wanna live do not disturb me from 12.00 at night till 10 in the morning! 💣💥 I am not available in this period (unless other was discussed)

If only you could help me with purchasing some board games, I would really appreciate that. I would really-really love to have cards Apples to Apples for Kids, Truth or Dare 18+ or anything you can advise!!! I will pay the price they cost if you manage to buy them for me. And we can play them with you and my friends or students. I would also appreciate some cool advice!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Once I was traveling with a tent around Crimea for 4 months starting from May and till the end of August. I went to different festivals during the travel. Had a camp in different cities, near the sea, in the wood and in the mountains. It was really cool!

~~~~FOOD AND DRINKS I advise to try in Ukraine~~~~

Salo is a traditional pork fatback. Tasty with brown bread with black pepper and a slice of fresh onion

Borsch

Okroshka is a cold soup. It is a mix of mostly raw vegetables (like cucumbers, radishes and spring onions), boiled potatoes, eggs, and a cooked meat such as beef, veal, sausages, or ham with kefir, whey or kvass, which is a beverage made from fermented black or rye bread. Okroshka is usually garnished with sour cream (smetana).

??????FAQ???????

????? I want to improve my pronunciation by practicing a little English with you by Skype. Can you be of my assistance?

:::::::I am afraid I can't. I literally don't have time for that. I am seldom alone, always working, walking or hanging out with somebody or relaxing.
To improve your pronunciation try singing lyrics after your favourite singers, sing together with them. Watch a lot of youtube podcasts, repeat their intonation, copycat them. Watch TV shows and serials with lots of talking. Good luck with that!!!

?????How can I improve my performance on couchsurfing, get more references and receive more offers from hosts?

:::::::You must have full and positive information about yourself on your profile. Share with people what you want them to know about you.
And get references. It's always preferable to get in touch with people who have certain presence on couchsurfing
It is always difficult to start for the beginners but be positive!
Well for me couchsurfing is a very serious enterprise, my love, my hobby and my style of living.
I started getting references from my friends (personal references), then from people from couchsurfing meetings, I asked them to write me personal references too. Then I met up and showed the city and got more personal references. Then I started hosting people. Now I stay a bit at other people's houses and also choose according positive references and interests.
There are also public trips. So one can write personally to a person or create a public trip. It will help you to increase the number of offers from hosts.
So good luck with surfing couches!!! Cheers!!!

?????I am looking for a pen pal. Can you be the one?

:::::::I am afraid I can't be your pen pal. I literally don't have time for that. I am seldom alone, always working, walking or hanging out with somebody or relaxing. And I don't really like chatting online and much typing just annoys me. So it's not my cup of tea. I prefer meeting people face-to-face and hanging out. A little chatting is of course necessary. But I am not a pen pal material.
But you can create a discussion in the section DISCUSSIONS on your Dashboard. So just give it a try and I am sure you will find a desirable pen friend who is willing to improve English speaking skills and just have a decent interesting conversation with you.
So good luck to you in enjoying all the positive sides of using the magnificent world of couchsurfing!!!
