ABOUT US

Tatiana
I have been travelling since 18, love exotic and adventurous destinations as well as the world’s busy and bustling super cities. My travels have mostly been solo trips flashpacking in South East Asia. I love exploring markets and eating street food. I'd love to visit more interesting countries if it is possible.

Anton
He likes underwater hunting, fishing, camping. He loves cooking a lot, he even can bake bread. He likes traveling, particularly loves cold climates and mountain ranges. He used to live on Sakhalin Island (a big island near Japan) which gave him some opportunities not only to see beautiful Nature, but also live surrounded by it.
Anton's absolutely into history as well as studying about indigenous minorities not only in Russia, but also those that live in other countries.

PHILOSOPHY
Be more concerned than others think they should!
Risking more than others think is wise!
Dream more than others think is practical!
Expect more than others think is possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can not find a better way to get to know a country and its people than actually being a guest in their houses and getting insight in their daily life as well as having conversation with the host. It is also an amazing opportunity to become acquainted with new people on my journey. In addition to it, couchsurfing might allow us to come to know some local food or activities.

We strongly believe that couchsurfing is a cultural exchange, a time to get to know each other, share meals, share stories, love of travelling and at the end of the experience, walk away with a friendship, something we can come back to in years to come.

If you'd love a real family stay, love playing games with our son who is 7, enjoy shared meals, you've chosen the right couch! We should cook together at least one night (you should teach us your favourite recipes and cook together with us) and exchange cultures. Look forward to hearing about your travels... We prefer a request for two days or more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have given up our comfortable life to pick up stray cats and dogs those who are most in need, treat them and find owners for them.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anton can bake. I can teach you English and recommend lots of specific tips about travelling in Russia. I can tell you my view about your culture and hope that you can correct any of my misunderstanding and stereotypes.
I will be really happy to discuss books or Arts with you.
Besides, one of our favourite hobbies is origami, we're really into origami, so we spend free time doing origami as long as we can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Our expirience and knowledge in an Environment Protection, sorting out and recycling garbage as a new issue here in Russia.
Besides, we can share our knowledge about Russian minorities and their traditional culture.
