Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't host so often nowadays, but would love to meet fellow travellers for a coffee/drink (s) :) I used to be very active in Moscow CouchSurfing community and sometimes organized events too. I even volunteered for the CS by translating the website into Russian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw a Total Solar Eclipse!

Saw Northern Lights!

Travelled USA Coast to Coast and enjoyed all these amazing views in the national Parks... and the helicopter ride over The Grand Canyon...

Did a parachute jump from 4.000 meters!

Went backpacking in SEA for 4 months. Wasn't enough, went again for 6 months!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Didn't know what to write then remembered a few people that I've stayed with or hosted changed their attitude to food and healthy lifestyle after being with me for a few days:) One girl already lost 10 kg or so!! So I can teach you how you can eat healthier and how it'll make you feel better.

Really like to learn how to cook new dishes!

I would love to dance! I attended a ballet school when I was very small, and now want to dance modern ballet & other dances.
Would love to learn French as well.
