CURRENT MISSION Traveling to the US in 2024 ABOUT ME I currently work as a Product Manager in Frankfurt am Main. I am pretty much action-oriented in everything, so I like active types of sports like martial arts, mountainbiking, snowboarding, etc. Recently I discovered my passion in creating youtube videos. MY PHILOSOPHY "Luck is dancing with those, who asks her for a dance" “If you don’t like things going as they are, change it! You are not a tree.” “Yesterday you said tomorrow”

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love meeting new people from all over the world with different cultures and professional backgrounds! I am always up for meetings with occasional fellow-travelers to explore areas where I live or travel e.g. for city tours, mountainbiking, hiking, etc. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE When I used to live in Russia, I hosted people from Germany (four times), France (trice), England (twice), Australia (twice), Malaysia, USA, Argentina, the Netherlands, Japan, Spain and Finland, almost everyone doing their Trans-Siberian route. Now I live in Frankfurt, Germany, after Saarbrücken and Göttingen.
