We're a Swedish and Russian couple that like to make friends with nice people from all over the world. We're both into art, films and exploring new places. Andreas enjoys dancing, board games and doesn't say no to an additional beer, and Yelena likes painting, reading and spending good time with friends.

Our languages are Swedish, Russian and English, but we're making courageous attemts with French and German as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We both like to learn about other cultures, hang out with new people, and like to get behind the touristical scenes of a new place. Couchsurfing is just ideal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Andreas: Hike in mountains in Kyrgyzstan. One of the most amazing countries I've ever been to. Friendly people and a dramatic landscape without tourists under each and every spruce. Wonderful!

Yelena: Have visited the Grand Canyon. A truly beautiful place with unearthy landscapes and magnificent nature!

Teach, Learn, Share

We both love cooking, so we could teach you how to make some Russian and Swedish national meals, or simply cook something really delicious for you! Moreover, if you are willing to learn Russian or Swedish, it will be our pleasure to give you couple of lessons.
