I'm an old-school couchsurfer since 2009. I hosted many people in the past, as you can read in my profile. At some point, I lost my faith in the couchsurfing because I couldn't meet interesting people there anymore. Now because of the World Cup, I see many amazing guests from different countries visiting Rostov, so I decided not to miss a chance and give it another try.

I like to show around my city, I like deep conversations.

Couchsurfing for me is a unique chance to see other cultures from the inside. I like to discover something new and I had experience in many kinds of activities (some of them are listed in "Interests" section). Meeting new people is probably the most exciting experience.
