CURRENT MISSION

Live, love, laugh, hike - in all and every country and environment!

ABOUT ME

I am an avid traveler, a curious and open personality. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories and dreams.

PHILOSOPHY

The glass is half-full... Never say never... Do what your heart tells you to do - whatever others, including your brain, think of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just started! As long as I am in Miami, I will try to offer my coach to other surfers. Hope to enjoy the beauty of the cultural exchange: share experience, skills, recipes, etc. And I also hope to travel to many exotic destinations, and find many new friends there, who will let me use their coaches and /or their local expertize...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to this site, but I once had a guest through another site, globalfreeloaders.com. I lived in Moscow, Russia at that time.

Interests

Travel, photography, meeting new people, new wildlife, new flowers, and new objects.

Also: good wine, good conversation, good music and good literature.

I also love to step off the beaten path and combine 'incompatible' things, big and small. Like wearing shorts and t-shirts at formal receptions, or adding unusual engredients to my salads, or having deepest life-changing conversations with strangers in a bus or plane.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list... Let's start with movies. Let it be Roman Holidays, The Sheltering Sky and whatever by Bergman. May be, Fanny and Alexander?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once traveling with Saharan beduins on camels in deep Sahara for several days. I was alone with 12 year old son, and we had no common language for communication. It was tricky, but the desert was in bloom, and the sky was shining, not like sparkling dots on black, it was all shining, just different dots were shining with a different intensity. I have never ever seen a sky like that again.

But I hope the most amazing experience is still ahead of me!
