About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be the change you want to see in the world.

ABOUT ME

I feel myself to be a citizen of the world. Being a curious person, I'm passionate about exploring the world, revealing more about human nature and about me.

But the most satisfying part of traveling though is the people you meet, that's why I look forward to meeting you in your home and to hosting you when you visit my country.

PHILOSOPHY

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Attributed to Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Either hosting or hanging out with travellers)

Besides,I help them with information regarding Moscow, e.g. the best, local places to eat, how to get to the most famous theatres only for a couple $, how to buy souvenirs and such kind of stuff twice as cheap (foreigners are usually ripped off)

here are some resources about Russia, of course, there mostly some stereotypes, but anyway these sites are nice:

Volunteered in Mexico(saving turtles on the shore of Pacific ocean) and in Philadelphia)
