CURRENT MISSION

Make this world a better place and be kind to it.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, relaxed, curious and open person. I like to learn new things. Traveling is my passion and I can not imagine my life without it. I love to discover and to understand other cultures, to meet people, visit different places, taste local food, etc. All these new experiences give me a joy of learning wonderful things that I did not imagine existing.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that this world could be a better place to live if only every person would do something good for others. Love and be loved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have travelled around South America with CS. It was a great experience. A lot of wonderful and friendly people met and amazing places visited. Later on tried to do it in Europe and it worked great again. I absolutely adore meeting local people of the places. I am convinced it's the best way to learn true things about the place, it's culture, feel it's energy.

The best CS experience so far - being hosted by Iranian people. They are incredibly friendly - the most hospitable nation!
