ABOUT ME

Since 2015 we travel and host as a couple with Simon who is new at CS https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/simonmakarov.

Simon works at a fish trade company and knows quite a lot of peculiar details about fish and sea products secret life ;)
He is into climbing and bouldering.
We both practise ashtanga vinyasa yoga (that's legal stuff)) and love chinese tea and tea ceremony.

PHILOSOPHY
