Not in Yerevan, not hosting!!! Currently traveling in Asia Now in Bali Note: As a rule of thumb, I mostly interact with Couchsurfers with at least 5 references Instagram: shahen_balyan Chaotically traveling since summer 2023. Originally from Armenia. I am on a mission to explore as many countries as possible :) And what I mean by exploring is that I want to live a certain time in a place and feel the local vibe of the city/country before moving somewhere else. Also, it's always lovely to make new connections and friends, form short term routine. This is, in short, how I love to explore places :) Other than that, I am a guy from IT management that loves chess and other intellectual activities. I dedicate my free time to gym, bicycle rides and hiking. I am very social in real life, and always down to do cultural exchange and meet interesting people or just make adventures happen :) Thus, feel free to ping me :)
I'm always in a positive mood. Communication and talking with new people, that's what I like more. Even when I'm tired after a whole working day, I'm ready to take a city tour with big big love. Because of my work shifts, I can't host as often as I want. But I'm always ready even for a 2-hour meeting.
I'M IN RUSSIA NOW, I WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR HOSTING IN YEREVAN AFTER AUGUST 19th 2026. I'm Simon, 28 years old. I'm originally from Moscow, but now based in Yerevan. A bit about me: I work in finance (specifically hedge funds), which keeps my mind busy with numbers and strategies. Outside of work, my biggest passions are math, astronomy, and philosophy. I love diving deep into abstract concepts, staring at the night sky, and discussing the big questions in life. Why I'm on Couchsurfing I think it's one of the coolest ways to travel without actually going anywhere. I love the idea of opening my home and meeting people from all over the world. Itโs fascinating to learn about different cultures, share stories, and have long, engaging conversations on everything from astronomy and philosophy to everyday life, all without having to leave my neighborhood. It makes the world feel a lot smaller and more connected. Why Armenia? Just for the fun of it! People often assume I moved due to politics, but that's not the case at all. I'm fully comfortable with the situation back in Russia. I simply felt a spontaneous urge to experience something new, and Yerevan captivated me. So, I decided to pack up and live here for a while, just because I could. Itโs been a great adventure. And hey, it's almost summer! โ๏ธ It would be super cool if someone wants to rent a sailing yacht on Lake Sevan on weekends. A yacht for 4 people plus an instructor costs $190 โ the more people, the cheaper per person. If you'd like to stay with me and chat about the universe, finance, or anything in between, please begin your couch request with 'barev' (hello in Armenian) so I know you've read my profile! Looking forward to meeting you! ๐
