Hey guys!

I DON'T HOST NOW but my profile stays open so travellers could find Sochi CS chat

I work remotely from home for an IT company, so Im quite busy during a week and cant show you around but I can meet you almost any time of a day)
Also Im planning to use CS as a guest from time to time during my short trips.
I like to hike somewhere on weekends. Say, I have been living in Sochi since 2012 but still didnt explore everything here. Hope one day I will write my own guide for off-beaten paths in Sochi)

My recommendations for Sochi https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1Mmj5WDxk6XuW6P2b96qSrNCUMR-kkq2F (bookmarks for maps.me or any other OSM app with description in English)

Helpful links:
TG : @hiking_kp - hiking chat in Krasnaya Polyana, here you can find answers to the most of the questions connected to popular routes
TG: @couchsurfingsochi - our small CS community, most people can speak English
FB: G8EnglishClub - holds meetings every Tuesday with professional speakers (small fee) and every Thursday with non-professional speakers (free of charge), its fun
https://www.extreme-sochi.ru/ - ask these guys for any extreme adventure in Sochi area, it costs but worth it - especially I recommend canyoning

Some facts about me:
- originally Im from Krasnodar
- I studied Petroleum Engineering in Tomsk, Siberia
- I worked in Tyumen, Siberia and Sudan as an engineer modeling oil and gas fields
- asked for vacation during Olympic Games in Sochi 2014 and worked as a fixer
- spent more than 1 year hitchhiking and backpacking in South America and learnt Spanish there
- worked as an English teacher in Chinese kindergarten but haven't succeed in Chinese
- interested in rock climbing (6a is my best), mountaineering (2A, up to 5800), snowboarding (instructor), skiing (newbie), multiday treks (Caucasus, Kamchatka and other mountains)

Will be happy to meet active and positive people!

For potential guests:
1) I prefer to host people who had some experience in hosting others and have recommendations in their profile.
2) 2-3 days is ok
3) No need to write request too much in advance - anyway I can confirm closer to the dates of possible stay, last minute requests work perfectly for me :)
4) If you will bring any coins from your country (or any country) I will be happy as my father collects them :)

Кто может быть моим гостем?
1)Предпочитаю хостить тех, кто хостил сам или как-то по-другому участвовал в жизни сообщества - например, что-то организовывал или был на CS мероприятиях.
2) Сильно заранее писать бесполезно - я все равно смогу подтвердить вписку только ближе к делу, запрос в последнюю минуту часто для меня идеален.
3) Вписываю на 2-3 ночи
4) В запросе пишите сразу ваши примерные планы/даты

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I like to host while I'm in Russia and be a part of local community when I'm abroad
Thanks to CS I met amazing people and had unforgettable adventures
Sometimes I conduct hiking events for CS depending on the place where I am

Благодаря каучсерфингу я встретила много замечательных людей, хотя странный опыт тоже был, оно того стоит!
Находила здесь компанию для самых безумных идей
Иногда организовываю вылазки в окрестностях Сочи в места, которые хорошо знаю

Intereses

Languages, outdoors and healthy lifestyle are my passion, and I'm always glad to meet people with the same values.
Экстремальные виды спорта, здоровый образ жизни. Люблю повеселиться, особенно поспать (с)
