Let's coddiwomple!

I'm an IT guy from Russia who lived in Thailand for a year and now back to Saint Peteresburg.
Recently I've done a 4-months solo travel around South-East Asia. I've used CS everywhere and I'm so happy about that because I've met lots of beautiful people.
And now it's time to pay back.

I don't care if you use copy-paste templates - I use them a lot because it was implemented exactly for this. Just be polite and use my name to say hello.
If you're traveller and have at least one positive reference - you're more than welcome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really into idea of travelling and hospitality, sharing and exchanging life experience with people from all over the world.

My profile was abandoned for long period because I lived in place where I wouldn't host anyone. So now I'm back for surfing and hosting.

Several times I hosted people by last minute requests. I don't know why after CS got redesigned a reference from one of my guest is now listed as reference from a host. Also I've helped people to get hosted in my born town.
And I used to use Hospitality Club (if anybody can remember this site) before CS became the most popular platform for travelling and hosting people.
