Hi, my name is Alex, I'm from Russia. When I was younger I was a lot of hitchhiking. Something about 26 countries. Then I went to both large and small sailboats, and built them. In 2009 I opened the first hostel in Vladivostok, SeeYou Hostel.It was a great time !!! I think about 1000 travelers were my guests! And 5 years later I sold it to realize my dream - to be a pilot :-))))).I recently graduated from flight school, but unfortunately now a bad time for pilots in Russia. And I think a good time to travel again.;-)))))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the people here are close to me in spirit. When I started traveling, we almost had not used the Internet. But every traveler who I saw had a notebook with a list of addresses and phone numbers of people who could help settle overnight. And they are happy to share this information. My travel notebook still be stored somewhere. Well now there CouchSurfing! :-)
