Hello! Nice to meet you! Our names are Sasha and Tanya. Sasha is 33, Tanya is 25.

We live in Russia, Tyumen. It is city in Siberia - very big area in the middle of our country. There are very cold winter and very warm summer. Great place!

But some time ago we decided that we would never be so young again and went on a round-the-world trip. We spend 5 months in Asia and have been in 11 countries, but in the future we want to visit all continents except Antarctica (although who knows...).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We indeed think it is the best way to know new places. Because country is not only buildings, museums and sights - it is people. We like meet new people and share our experience and get new impressions.

Interests

We love travel very much. Sasha doesn't have big experience in international journey, before our trip he have been only in Egypt! So for him it is really new feelings. Tanya has richer experience - she traveled in Spain, Turkey and Czech Republic, but she have never tried to do it by herself, that's why this a round-the-world trip is interested for her.

Both of us traveled a lot around Russia on a motorcycle.
On our honeymoon we drove 3,000 km on a motorcycle to get to the Crimea!

Sasha has been snowboarding for over ten years and loves free-riding.

We had a big hiking across the Kamchatka Peninsula - it is unbelievable place!

Also we love dogs very much. When we will return home from this big trip, we will definitely get a dog.

Music, Movies, and Books

We love rock and electric music. Also we read a lot! Sasha read many non-fiction books and likes fiction. The last book, that impressed him, it is "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand.

Tanya read a lot of fiction. She likes Russian authors - Dostoevsky, Lermontov, Pushkin. And she is obsessed with Harry Potter books!
