Currently living in Las Vegas, NV, with my wife, Anna. See her profile here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/anna.terskikh I've surfed and hosted over a hundred times, and made countless great friendships along the way!! Currently hosting in Vegas. CURRENT MISSION: Find the good in everything I see and experience :) ABOUT ME 2001-2003: Lived in Thailand (as an exchange student in University, and did a little teaching), and traveled around a lot of SE Asia, Taiwan, and South China 2005-2007: Backpacked through Mexico, Central America, and South America, almost all by land... a two-year mega-backpacking adventure! 2007-2008: Taught English in South Korea, then traveled around Australia, New Zealand, and back through SE Asia 2011-2013: Whew! Spent a lot of time traveling Europe, with brief stints living in Istanbul (3 months), Stupava, Slovakia (1 1/2 months), and Gijon, Spain (2 months) mixed in between. Then I took the boat over to Morocco and spent 3 1/2 months traveling and hitch-hiking in Western Africa, all the way down to the Gambia. 2013-2016: Lived in Moscow, Russia, teaching English. Also took several wonderful trips around Russia and Central Asia, and the Baltic countries. Finally it was time to leave Moscow, after 2 years... the scenic way! I traveled through Russia, Mongolia, and China, all overland, then flew to the Philippines and spent a few months there. 2016-2017: I arrived in Thailand in January. I lived in Pattaya for a few months, then moved to Lamlukka and got a job teaching at a kindergarten. I also wrote my first novel! I took many trips around Thailand and Laos, enjoing life of the vagabond when I could. Finally, it was time to move on, and in March 2017 I returned to the USA for the first time in 4 1/2 years.... March 2017 to Present: My life is totally different now. Got married, have 2 dogs, and have been a public school teacher in Las Vegas for 5 years now. Earned 2 Master's Degrees from UNLV. Unfortunately haven't been able to travel much like I used to. However thanks to my teaching job I get summer break and have been able to take the following trips: Summer 2018: took our honeymoon trip across the USA (California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah) which included seeing lots of state Capitol buildings and camping in state and national parks! Summer 2020: went up to Reno and lake Tahoe, San Francisco, and down the California coast via the Pacific Coast highway. Summer 2022: I took a road trip through Canada and USA with my dog Stella. Summer 2023: we traveled to Tokyo, Japan for a few days, then the east coast of Australia for 3 weeks. Summer 2024: went around California and Arizona to see some national parks and major league baseball games. Summer 2025: went to Miami, then the Carribean!! (Bahamas, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos) PHILOSOPHY to be, or not to be.... try your hardest at everything you do!

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have now couch surfed in many countries throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and North America. I have also hosted quite a bit on 3 different continents: Europe (in Spain and Russia), Asia (in Thailand), and now North America (in Las Vegas). I also have attended and continue to attend some CS events and functions. I have attended CS meetings in Poland (CS weekly meeting in Lodz), Slovakia, France (a wine-tasting CS party), Spain (CS weekly meeting, and salsa dancing, and hiking), Morocco (meeting CS'ers for tea, language exchange in Casablanca, etc), Senegal (boating to an island), Las Vegas, Moscow (Language Exchange, Anti-Boring Friday, more), and others!... I love to meet fellow surfers and hosts, I find we have a lot in common and can usually carry on great conversations. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE SURFING..............

Muzyka, filmy i książki
I love science fiction movies and shows and am a huge Star Wars dork. I enjoy all types of books, but especially nonfiction (true stories) which are told in a creative way (Wild by Cheryl Strayed, anything from Jon Krakauer, etc). Don't listen to music much anymore but I don't consider myself in a specific category. Pretty much anything except the new-age hip hop or country, lol.
Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem/am
I snuck into a speech given by Hugo Chavez in person, in Venezuela, and got to listen to him talk crap about the USA!
Ucz, Ucz się, Dziel się
I can share a lot of travel knowledge and good travel stories, information, and especially kindness :) I am an English teacher, so obviously I can help teach or practice with the English language.

Moje zainteresowania
Traveling: I've now explored parts of 6 continents. I've taken many long trips, all by land (my preferred way to travel as you see more), and did much of my traveling by hitch-hiking and couch-surfing. Started couch surfing officially in 2011 while in Europe. Photography: I LOOOVE taking photos, though i've never had a decent camera. Languages: I try to learn at least some of the language of every country I visit, even if not there for long. And I also love learning written alphabets, even if I can't speak the spoken language! Teaching: Great profession where you can feel good about your work... Hiking, camping, the outdoors: I just love it, feel so alive when doing it. Sports: I LOVE basketball and just about all other sports. I've been to Aussie rules and rugby in Australia, baseball and basketball in Korea, lots of football (soccer) in Europe and Latin America, hockey in Eastern Europe, wrestling in Senegal, even the handball championships in Spain. Food: I love to cook and eat just about anything, and my patented tacos and Mexican food is world-famous! Collections: I have so many odd collections, including beer labels, ticket stubs, and other random things that most people would find useless, from around the world... you should see my scrap books!! I even have a match book collection of all the Vegas casinos.
