ABOUT ME

I'm Russian, was born and still live in Moscow. I enjoy having interesting conversations (who doesn't?) and visiting new places (who at CS doesn't?). My biggest dream is to travel around the world, most of all I want to see as much as possible in Latin America.
Sometimes I can be crazy, spontaneous and childish. I'm stubborn and always ready to protect my point of view, but if I don't know anything about the object of the discussion, I just admit it. Naturally, I love reading good books, listening to good music, watching good movies. Highly appreciate good food and good humour.

PHILOSOPHY

One should use all the opportunities life offers. It's better to regret of what you have done than of what you haven't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I don't have an opportunity to host travellers as I live with my mom, but I'm always glad to show them around Moscow, to share some coffee/cocktail/whatever.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have not tried surfing or hosting yet, but one day I will, for sure! ;)

Met some people from CS while travelling in Mexico and then in Moscow. So far it was always great!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a whole amazing year in Hangzhou, China, studying, travelling and having fun.
