CURRENT MISSION

Wonder around the world

ABOUT ME

We (Irina and Dan) live and work in Utrecht, Netherlands. We came here in 2008 from Moscow.

Although we are married (which might sound boring), we're both social and easy-going people, allways curious about other people and their ways of living, always ready for something new and something crazy!

PHILOSOPHY

Hard to say.
Being yourself.
Not trying, but just doing.
Considering any experience as a treasure, even if it's bad.
Allways learning, never getting bored by your life.
Doing crazy things from time to time, but also being able to enjoy small things, that are around every day, every moment.
Being curious.
Being opened.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host and we surf, enjoying both!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We lived in Liza and Jasper's place when we just came to Holland.
it was fun! Then we started to host people and stay by couchsurfers while travelling.

First it was all about cheap way to travel, but now we'd be happy to pay just to stay by somebody, and not in boring hotels or hostels!

Interests

Irina: Brain, people, travelling
Dan: no brain, yacht sailing, aquariums, genetics, and for sure travelling as well

• drinking

Music, Movies, and Books

The list would be too long even for one of us, and for both it's going to take ages to fill it in.
Let's say, it's almost all kinds of music and movies, and any books that would make you think. at least a bit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, you better don't know about it:)

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach you Russian if you'd like to:)
What else? Sailing, rafting, hiking. Surviving in the wild... Drinking vodka in a proper way:)

And we are always ready to learn. Learning something new, every new experience is a lot of fun!
Well, in particular, if somebody can teach Dan to play banjo, there would be perfect!!!
