ABOUT ME

I'm 27 years old, I began to travel independently from 17 years. I explore this world, travel by hitchhiking, I do not use hotels, it's always more interesting to look at the life of ordinary people.

At the end of 2019, i have visited 20 countries, traveled by hitchhiking in Iran, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan,Thailand,Malaysia, Indonesia,Laos, Myanmar,China,Mongolia,South Korea, + a little bit around Ukraine,

The most interesting thing for me - simple people in unusual situation, a unique culture in the world of victorious globalization, nature and beauty in our life are interesting.

I like to read Russian and foreign classics. Favorite authors are Tolstoy and Chekhov, Erich Fromm, William Golding, Henry David Thoreau, Ray Bradbury, Victor Frankl, Jack London, Strugatsky brothers, Bertan Russell, diaries of the great travelers Miklouhi Maclay, David Livingstone and so on.

A little more about myself - in a person open mind and friendly. I will be glad to talk with you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Remained at remarkable hosts in many cities of Russia and Ukraine.

I try to invite people to visit whenever possible.

I help organize the project of Russian travelers - "House for All". We rent a house in a certain place on the globe where a person of any nationality, if he is interested in the world, leads a healthy lifestyle and does not use drugs, can stop at us free of charge to explore the region.

He helped organize such houses in Nizhny Novgorod, Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek), rented a house for travelers friends in Tajikistan (Murgab).
