Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have been traveling for the last 10 years, so did not have a chance to host anyone yet. But as soon as I have a permanent place to live I will have as many people as possible. I love travelers. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I am new to couch surfing, even though i have traveled almost nonstop, for the last 10 years.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I experienced Maha Kumba Mela(the short cut to Enlightenment) in India, a gathering of 10 million people at the confluence of three rivers in 2000. Climbed 5600 meter pass in the Annapurina Himalayan Mountains. Walked the Appalachian Trail 2200 miles in six months. Experienced my consciousness expanding to the size of the Earth. Meditated for ten days straight. Loved deeply. Laughed hard, Learned much. Immigrated from Soviet Union at the age of 17 during the soviet era.
