I missed my flight to Belgium from Marakesh and a couch surfer Marco being in skype at that time bought me a ticket in 2 hours. that amazing! i am so grateful!
In LA i met Cecilia (our guest in Moscow) in Panda express without contacting each other. How odd!and great at the same time
I met Pedro in a hostel in Lima and we discovered that both of us were couch surfers as we were going to the same event, organized by Giselle, plus recently my friend Alice from Rome/NYC asked how did i meet this guy as he was a flatmate of her boyfriend in Lisabon!

The fact that Liuba considers that I speak some Russian shows how positive and optimistic she is :)
She taught me a very nice word that I cannot reproduce because I don´t have a Russian keyboard, but that applies to her.
I hope to keep running into Liuba and get to know her better because she definitely is a very interesting person.

Liuba surfed my couch with her friend Elena. They are two sweet Russian girls on their way to fame. :) They like singing at open mics, where I had a lot of fun. They invited me to a concert, we went to house parties, a park, and several other places. Liuba is a CouchSurfing example, she has the perfect personality and makes friends everywhere very easily. She makes the best pancakes, so ask for them!

Liuba and Elena laugh a lot. It is nice. At first I only wanted to host them so I could fill out Russia and Ukraine on my map but now then mean so much more to me than some extra red in my profile. They are fun to talk to and hang out with and they laugh and play music and sing songs and make pancakes with your bananas. THEY took ME to a bar that I've never been to for an open mic night. It was very cool. I wasn't probably cool enough to be there but it was fun to see and awesome to see them perform and it was fun to see Angelo spill a beer on their map and jeans. Haha, hope to see them again sooooon!

This tour ended meeting Deric and going to some random bar. The best part, meeting drunk people inside; as i called the " Potato Store !!" Saying " Canada " Da, Nimnochka voda "" with this sign on the neck meaning... Drink with me !!! lol !! Soo much fun, Thanks you again for all your help, generosity toward travelers. That is really appreciate, and I'll never forget the " Buy a train Ticket" experience we had !!! Poka

We met with Liuba in Yaroslavl, she had the kindness to show us around in the city. I had my first russian bania experience with her at Natalia's datcha. It was a great a great moment, that I won't forget! The day after we had a nice boattrip on the Volga river under the sun... what a nice and quiet dream! We finished with a drink on the red square... A really nice weekend.
Thank you again see you soon.

Liuba appeared as a miracle in front of us - two girls knowing nothing about Yaroslavl, standing at the station at 11 pm without any transport to catch. She picked us up and brought to a cosy datcha of the most hospitable people. We planned to stay in Yaroslavl only one night - the next day we changed our tickets to stay 4 days:))) THANK YOU for nursing us in your home town, surperb time we spent there and introducing to such great people!

honestly I usually can't get a person's character , but Liuba was an exception - it was impossible not to understand her essence. Sincere, nice, friendly, easy-going - this impression lasted for all time we spent together. In short a TRUE couchsurfer:)

It was great of Liuba to agree to help me and two friends less than 24 hours before we arrived in Yaroslavl! She and her parents were wonderful hosts - we could not have asked for more - and it was fun checking out the random discotech, drinking early-morning tea and everything else... Thanks!! :)

Gotta love spontaneity and following your bliss. =) Namaste' my friend and know you always have a friend and place to stay wherver I am.

Liuba is a kind open-hearted person, who is easy-going to speak to and spend time together. We met only several times, because any other time we planed to meet again, it happened she would be busy with other events and other friends, so I presume she's a person with lots of friends and lots of activities.

well, my reference is awful, I know, but I promise to correct it in future:) let's go dancing to Rock-Vegas this week))

WOW! A very active surfer!! Liuba and I met through out CS hosts, and ended up going to the gallery, then the opera together. Always questioning life - why people do what they do, forever taking photos with her amazingly HUGE camera, and very excited about all aspects of a 'new' city : its nightlife, art, traditions, music and culture. I had a great time with Liuba -- if we move to Vienna around the same time, we will be flatmates! :))))

Liuba was the first person I couch! We had a wonderful time in Stockholm, she is very nice, intelligent, interesting, outgoing girl and good dancer! Unfortunately she only stayed for 1 night, I hope we could meet in April in Moscow, so we can talk more about trips, religions, history, etc... Good luck in your trip Liuba!

Liuba met up with me in Moscow despite having to catch a train to Finland in the evening herself. Friendly and talkative, I felt instantly comfortable with her.

Luba is a nice friendly smily girl. I had not a chance to spend much time with her to tell more. But we spent a good time while traveling together to Helsinki and it was a big fun to meet by a surprise on a CS meeting in Moscow!

Liuba was the first person I ever messaged on CS, and she has been an indispensible help in Moscow. She is a beauty, and a very sincere person. I am very grateful to her for her help.

Luba is a very warm and kind-hearted person. She's quite straightforward and sincere, but at the same time a bit mysterious. I feel very comfortable in her company and would really like to stay in touch with her and to get to know her better.

Ciao! After some messages we finally met in Helsinki and I had the chance also to host her. I couldn't offer a perfect hospitality but I tried to do my best ;)
She is talented about languages-speaking and she knows so many strange italian words, I was so surprised to hear them from her hehe. She is a nice person to meet and to share good time with. Welcome in Helsinki when you are coming back! And next time you will have to cook something ;)
