About Me

EVS volunteer at an art school in LA Chaux-de-Fonds. Helping the local community to stay sane and happy despite the pandemic restrictions 🙃

Before I was working in a production house and making wonderful and funny commercials, traveling a lot, raising a cat and a few plants at home, making delicious pasta and enjoy life in general :)

Please, watch this guide before coming to my place:

I am this type of guest during travels. So, if you are not ready to clean up after yourself, too busy to wash your dishes and cups... maybe you should stay at Airbnb? Respect each other is the main reason to meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cultural exchange and friends around the globe

Of course, CS isn't just a free space for staying, people are the best part of the community. Let's meet :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had travelled from Kuala Lumpur to Moscow by hitchhiking without money and still alive [wow]

Don't tell my parents about it.. If Mom finds out I travelled without money and didn't ask her for help - my days are numbered)

Teach, Learn, Share

Would like to share travel tips or some stories about filmmaking.
In the evenings I like to cook, cause it is my special sort of meditation. And I like to cook together with hosts)
If you have any local (for you) cooking tips or a family recipe - please, share it!

My first language is Russian, but I try to learn Czech, Italian, and French. I would like to have some practice in any of them

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you Moscow city center during the week after work, sometimes I have totally free weekends and ready for a suburban tour with surfers.

BTW I want to be sure that you've read my profile and it's important part of my decision... So, if you want to ask me for a host - use this key-word: "oak".

Also, could be great if you are that person, who is totally agree with this article:
http://francistapon.com/Travels/Advice/How-to-be-a-Good-Couchsurfing-Guest-and-Host

And you're welcome!

NB: "A positive reference is like a thank-you note. It feels good for the host to receive it and it's rude to not do it quickly. The worst is when the host has to remind/beg the guest to write a reference." - CS community based on references. Even if you did't like something - write about it, it will help me to become a better host/surfer. (And it also provides Verified membership, so helps me to travel in the future :)
