About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a vagabond by nature. Spent most of my life in my hometown, but after I left, I just can't stay long in one place. I love listening to the music and jamming with other musicians. I also love trekking in the mountains and hitchhiking. I don't like to write stuff, but I'm always happy to have a conversation with people and if you are a good listener and story teller we could talk for hours :) I do understand that some people just don't match and it's perfectly fine too.

PHILOSOPHY

Well, I believe that there are more good than bad people in the world. I truly beleive that the best way to make this world better is following the rule - be nice, and try to leave things in a better state than you found them. I wish I could say I do that all the time, but well...I'm doing my best :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is one of the most exciting things I have ever known. It is always a surprise who you meet on your way, and it is amazing!
I'm trying to offer more than just a place to stay, because CS is so much than that - it is a way of finding new friends all over the world and sharing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It started with hosting people in my hometown and then I became a guest rather than a host. I've surfed and hosted in various countries and I love it! I'm very, very grateful to all the people who shared their hospitality with me and I hope one day I can find a place where I fit best and willd be able to treat them (and any other traveller) as great as they treated me!

Interests

Recently, I've taken up videography, and I'm making my own travel vlog (I know, seems like everyone is doing it these days, but I'll still try :) )Iove listening to music, jamming with other musicians, travelling, trekking, yoga. I love dancing Salsa casino style. I love too many things to mention because the world is amazing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are just too many to mention, and the things keep on happening all the time!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I could teach you Russian if you will :) I can show you basics on acoustic guitar, that I most likely have around me :) I can also show you how to play various types of hand drums and percussion and also a jew's harp. I can cook a few tasty meals for you.
And of course, I can share many interesting and sometimes funny stories from my travels!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of travel stories. I can share my experience in anything I know, and I'm a very curious person, so "I know a little bit about a lot of things" :) I can cook Russian soup called Borsh, and maybe something else. I can sing you songs in 4 languages :)
