CURRENT MISSION

" better do it and regret than don't do it and regret" :)

ABOUT ME

My friends describe me like an optimist and crazy one (but in a good way)..I hope I'm open-mined person, open for everything new and interesting: people, places, languages, books, art..I adore to travel, but after some experience of normal "tour travel" I decided what it's something what I don't like..you can't understand country from a tourist bus, after I was living one year in France and enjoyed of it, I was trying to find another way to travel, to meet people who live there..so I tried one voluntary project, I like nature, animals, so it was ecological one and I became addict of this..it's a perfect for me: you can travel, meet very nice people from all the world (who still your good friends) and do something good for a nature..

PHILOSOPHY

Guys, it's not my philosophy, but just an advice - I kinda got tired from messages like "Hi, how are?", "You are beautiful" and ect. here, if you don't really plan to come in my city, don't waste your and my time, please. I wont reply anyway!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

All my friends volunteers told me about this project and everyone had great experience..Summer 2008 I hosted one girl from Germany for 2 weeks, she was volunteer here, in Samara, we had so great time together! After I visited her in Germany and was sleeping on her couch..so after this nice experience I thought what I'm ready for real CS

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was too many, but mostly amazing thing for me - to see your child when you gave a birth to him :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I like bikes and I can learn you to ride it or if you already can do it - just go with you around Samara by bikes and to show different nice places (in summer).

Also I can learn you to paint, speak russian and how to have good time in Samara :)
