About Me

I madly love travelling and meeting new and almost always awesome people! It shows me that people are both really different and unexpectedly amazing. I love trying myself in everything: parachutes, surfing, photography, climbing, calisthenics, dancing... it just so sad that there is only one life . Be as it may, my desire is to fulfill that life and never regret "I was too lazy to do crazy stuff"!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I love travelling, I found out about cs recently. Me and Stacey enjoyed cs experience in Russia and many countries in Europe! In 2014 we also met a great hospitality by people in California - thank you for making out trip awesome!

Actually, I have more emotions and joy about meetings fantastic people in cities than about cities themselves.

Music, Movies, and Books

A like to watch all contemp and old movies but rather prefer books. I recently enjoyed "Brave New World" by Huxley, "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Remarque and "Loosing Virginity" by Branson.
Currently impressed by Ann Ryad "Atlas Shrugged"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Parachute jump - that was just awesome! Old plane, 1000 meters, one step - few seconds of fly - and relief.
Grand Canyon - me and my friend had 5 hours to run to the Colorado river and back. 0.5 liters of water, no food whatsoever, hardcore only. Scenery was stunning. After coming back you feel like in the god mode :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't believe traveling is about seeing places which you've seen on TV. I believe it's about meeting new people and sharing experiences with each other.
