We both like traveling very much. We really enjoy our every trip. We like beatiful landscapes and mountains most of all. Only mountains with the lakes better then mountains. We are nice and friendly:)

About Yury

I am a kind, polite and well-mannered person. I am not so sociable as my girlfriend, but I am a good listener. I enjoy traveling around the world by car. I am an engineer at a factory, but I don't really like my job. I'd like to quit someday and to find a job, that allows me to travel more often:) I also have another job, I'm a part-time street cleaner and I like this job more. I really enjoy working outside, it's like exercising:)
My hobby is taking photo. I like taking photos of breathtaking landscapes.

About Veronika

Hi there! I studied at the Faculty of Journalism. I used to want to be a journalist, but it is too nervous. Now I'm a private English teacher. I teach mostly beginner learners because my English is not perfect. My job is just a way to keep my English at a good level:) I am interested in art (literature, painting) and I like to communicate with interesting people. I don't eat any animal products. I am a vegan (Yury is not). I dream of an equal world, where everyone has equal opportunities. I dream of a world with no wars and fights. I don't like the world based on money and power.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is really the best travel website. It helps you find a place to stay and you can also meet new interesting people. Couchsurfing is a great experience for everyone. We don't mind copy-paste requests and sometimes we do write copy-paste requests ourselves. You know, it's hard to find a place to stay when it's summer and you are planning to visit a touristic city. A lot of people decline your request, cause they already have another couchsurfers. And you have to write not less then 10 requests to find a host. And if you're planning to stay at several different places during your vacation, you have to write dozens of requests. And it's really hard to write so many personal, non copy-paste requests. BUT, we do ALWAYS READ profiles and even some references, because we want to know, who are we going to spend our time with:)

Interests

Veronika: I like playing board games and chatting with interesting people.

Yury: I love riding a bike, driving my minivan and taking photos. I like roller coasters very much. Sometimes I like to rest with beer or wine:) And I love tasty food!

Music, Movies, and Books

Veronika:
MUSIC:I love almost all kinds of music, but I do not like hard-rock and heavy metal (too heavy for my ears). I like songs with a strong message or positive lyrics.
TV: My favourite TV-shows are: Britain's got talent, AGT and other got talent shows and also The Ellen show. Ellen DeGeneres is an amazing woman! And her show is amusing and fantastic! Besides she is a vegan, so I love her very much! My favourite cartoon is "Steven Universe". OMG! It's the greatest cartoon, it's perfect for all ages! And as for movies, most of all I love ones, that are based on a real story. And I love watching series and movies about relationships (between friends, lovers, kids and parents).

BOOKS: I do not really like fantasy books, but I like sci-fi. But most of all I like books with stories, that may happen in our life. And I also like biographies of great people.

Yury:
MUSIC: pop-rock and jazz.
TV: sci-fi (especially about space) and dramas.
BOOKS: I hardly ever read books.
