CURRENT MISSION

more knowledge, more experiences, not to get bored and boring

ABOUT ME

We are a friendly russian-british family with two kids (Katya, born in 2008, and Ilya in 2012). Here is my description of myself from 2007: "curious, open-minded, loving adventures and stories, good books and music, granddaughter of a communist, daughter of a soviet military. a bit shy, pretty chaotic, want to see everything, which is beautiful, interesting, funny or also sad, if I can change it". Now I am much more of a responsible mum;)

PHILOSOPHY

working on it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We surfed and hosted people and had only good experiences with the couchsurfing so far: intersting people, wonderful insider tours, delicious authentic food...

Unfortunately I read about other Couchsurfing experiences in this article (in German): https://couchsurfing.correctiv.org. I don't want to scare you but would like to share it with every couchsurfer.
