ABOUT ME

We're just simple people, with a mixed cultural background - trying to take the best from our USSRian origin and from our middle-eastern surrounding. Stas studies at preacademic unit, and Marina tries to finish her BA while working as a florist (and loves it!). We have LOTS of interests - it's hard to tell in a few words. We love to have good times with friends - but also we're not bored when left alone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Though we're new here, we would be glad to host people at our place at Haifa :) and maybe someday, when we'll go traveling, it could be fun to meet people that could make us feel more then just tourists :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We're now on tour around Europe, couchsurfing people here are great as we can see! At home, we always hosting friends - and staying at friends' couches when out of town - no complaints so far :)

Interests

Stas makes mostly music - all kinds of instruments including vine glasses and metal plates, and Marina is such a book-reader type - most of all she loves to learn about nevermindwhat by herself
