CURRENT MISSION

To learn and to be a knecht (in Herman Hesse's sense of the word)

ABOUT ME

I believe, I'm curious and optimistic, dinamic and openminded. Sometimes lazy. My daughter Alexandra (Sasha), 19. y.o., a student of biology at the SPb Uni. Crazy with the Japan culture. Bright intellect and killing aphoristic speech.

PHILOSOPHY

To be free

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope, I do not make this world worse it was when I came to see it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not with Couchserfing yet, but with the Hospitality Club where I'm "vodovoz" too. With my former family we were hosted in Lithuania, Latvia, Israel. I was happy to stay with hosts in Malmo, Sweden and in Copenhagen. One of the strongest impression were with Avraam in Jerusalem. The guy was 77 y.o. but even more active than all of us, a great traveller, an author of A Guide for Travellers by Car in Europe.
