Everything is subject to change. Including this bio. So this bio is by no means telling who I am, nor my preferences and interests are solid and permanent, this is just an introductory image so you can trust me a little bit more.

I'm a human being who got sick of working in the office. Trying to cut everything that makes me dependent on the system where we live in.

Originally from Uzbekistan, I spent some years as a child in Israel and lived in London and Prague for the last 6 years. Recently I returned to Tashkent. I live in a tiny house on the outskirts of the city where i a building a guesthouse and a wellness/retreat centre.

I'm deeply interested in what madness is and what we can do about it and consider modern psychiatry is a shitshow. I do counselling and also manage an organisation where we're aiming at improving the quality of life of people with mental health difficulties and aspiring at creating an alternative care system based on compassion and willingness to help others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to live in a world where people widely offer each other whatever they have to offer whether it is a couch, a ride, a meal or whatever.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I own a little guesthouse, which i'm slowly turning into a wellness centre. If rooms are free i'll be happy to make arrangements to host you.

Music, Movies, and Books
