HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love my city and know my way around. I don't take my guests to see usual tourists attractions, but picturesque sights. And with great pleasure familiarize them with Russian culture. I break stereotypes that Russia is just about vodka, bears and winter (though we have plenty of those).
