We have recently moved to Berkshire, UK. Not accepting guests until we are settled in.

CURRENT MISSION

Love everybody, investigate ourselves and life

ABOUT ME

We are a simple Russian family, Elena, Alex, Mitya, Andrey, and Mika. We like active traveling, sports, hiking (called tramping in NZ), cycling. We like meeting friends. We bring up our sons in love and care and openness to the world. People are very different, we are always open to new people and look for those who are open too and sincere and positive. We are vegetarians ;)

PHILOSOPHY

We like to travel around the world very much. We've always thought that visiting a city with a person who lives there gives a completely new vision, that is associated with this person, much more rich and is really valuable. Besides, meeting new people, especially those who travel, is so attractive! The idea of couchsurfing is just what we've been looking for!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We are ready to accept travelers from around the world, helping them in visiting the city and by providing a place to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before we've registered to CouchSurfing we've only stayed at our friends' or friends of friends' houses. This was fantastic and most memorable experience of visiting new places. We've also hosted several people coming to Moscow from other places that we knew "by recommendation". That was always interesting and in no way tiring. With CouchSurfing we've already hosted several people, this experience was really valuable.

In Russia we hosted people from (9 times overall):
United Kingdom - 2
France - 2
Australia - 1
Switzerland - 1
Netherlands - 1

In New Zealand we hosted people from (16 times overall):
