Hi! I'm Artsvik – documentary filmmaker, storyteller, and professional plant whisperer.
I was born in a village surrounded by mountains, so nature is not just a love – it’s my default setting. I travel to feel, to breathe, to get lost in old streets, meet weirdly wonderful people, and collect stories that don’t fit in Instagram reels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe humans are wired for connection, not transaction. Hotels give you a bed — locals give you a story.

I don’t travel just to see places, but to feel them — to hear real voices, taste someone’s favorite bakery, and learn things that never make it to the guidebooks. Some of the most meaningful moments in my life have happened over spontaneous dinners, shared silence, or a simple cup of tea in a stranger’s kitchen.

Couchsurfing lets me live inside a place, not just walk through it. And I’m endlessly grateful for the kindness that turns a house into a memory.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to communicate with people from different cultures. In every new country I come to, I want to get to know not only the architecture and culture of the country, but also the habits and character of the people
