About Me

ABOUT ME

Originally I'm from Belarus, but I've been living in Saint Petersburg for 12 years. I always try to arrange some adventures with my friends and they always try to avoid them.) I'm up to any outdoor and indoor activities and everything that makes life more vivid and eventful.

PHILOSOPHY

"Someone once told me the definition of Hell: The last day you have on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become."
So I try to do something to reduce level of dissapointment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting people, meeting some great couchsurfers, giving advices about Saint Petersburg in CS S-Pb group.
The main reason why I'm here is to get emotions from sharing my life with others and to find out how people live and think in other parts of world.
Couchsurfing, as I see it, is not just network of sleeping places, but rather the place for cultural and emotional exchange. So, if someone is just looking for first option, it is better to skip my profile. Let's not disappoint each other :-)
