About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To seeeeeee Rocky Mountains and Alaska :)) and then to save money and go around the countries in Southern America and Easter Asia.

ABOUT ME

Real friends are the inevitable constant in my life; travelling the most important passion keeping me feel alive and bringing fun and smile to my life; I m trying to live my life the way i like, enjoy it as much as i can and try to follow my dreams even when they seem to be impossible (well my experience is that most of them are not:))

PHILOSOPHY

The future is not the place we are going to, but the place we are creating, and the process of creation changes both- us and also the final destination. I have been told so many times, that my dreams are exaggerated and too high, despite that I have always believed in the saying : Where There's a Will, There's a Way. And surprisingly i succeeded to reach most of them:)))))
Travelling is one of my biggest passions.. and i d like to live for my passions

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I m doing CS while travelling, meeting new people and keeping in touch with them. Currently I live in Vancouver, Canada and keep changing my place quite a bit, but i m willing to provide accommodation if my current space allows it. Anyways, everyone can contact me, it is nice to meet new people and find something interesting any time:))

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was the craziest ever- it was in Moscow, where we (group of 7 people from all around Europe) were hosted by great great great Anya. We had really a lot of fun, plus we were sleeping in her sister old children room, which was designed by her mother as a castle- with sleeping place inside and also over the castle- it was pretty incredible:)

Another experience again in Moscow, was with lovely couple, Tonya and Fedya. They were really nice and accommodating and shared a nice dinner and great tips with us. Thank you guys!

Travelling is such an extraordinary experience, but can be pretty pricey at the time with all the cost, therefore I really appreciate CS project and I d like to return favour anytime.
