Hey Gadi — digging the blog. I’m very interested in Russia. My wife and I are planning on taking the Trans-Siberian/Trans-Mongolian railway from Moscow to Ulan Bator and then on to Beijing. I’m very excited to stop along the way. I noticed that you guys have surfed almost a dozen couches. In the near future, could you please share with us some perspective via a blog entry on what that is like as a couple. My wife and I would like to try it, but we are somewhat hesitant and were wondering what the process is like for couples?

Hey Jason,

Yes, getting some paperwork was a bit of challenge but it doesn’t have to be. If you get the visa from your native country it probably would of been easier. We couldn’t do that because the visa expires 3 months after you issue it so we had to find an alternative location to do it. They weren’t very nice to us but maybe it was our case.

So far, it has been worth the trouble. We only visited Moscow and St. Petersburg and they are beautiful cities. I bet there is so much more that Russia can offer.

If you have further questions, don’t hesitate in asking.

Cheers.

How long are you in Russia? I had heard it was a challenge to enter the country and hadn’t considered it myself. But, I have also seen some beautiful pictures that would make anyone want to visit. Enjoy!
