CURRENT MISSION

To travel light, meet open-minded people, share cultures, and create genuine friendships. My mission in life is simple: to respect each other, learn from each other, and make the world feel more connected.

ABOUT ME

I’ve been part of the Couchsurfing community for more than 12 years. Work and life kept me busy, so I wasn’t very active recently, but now I’m back and ready to reconnect with this amazing family of travelers.

I value transparency, honesty, and respect. I don’t divide or judge people — we are all human beings, each with our own story. I don’t promote my own beliefs, lifestyle, or religion, and I only ask for the same respect in return.

I’m open-minded, grateful, and I never forget when someone helps me. If you ever come to Uzbekistan, I’ll be more than happy to return the favor and show you around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Because Couchsurfing is not just about a free couch — it’s about connecting with people who share the same spirit of traveling and openness. I believe the best way to discover a place is through the people who live there, not only by visiting tourist spots.

For me, CS is a community where respect, culture, and kindness bring travelers together like one family. My mission here is to meet people who think the same way, explore places with locals, and share experiences that make travel unforgettable.

Interests

Almost every weekend I drive 800 km to visit my parents. On the way, I enjoy the mountains and nature again and again, and I never get tired of it. Cars are both my work and my passion — I love to drive and explore new roads. Football is another big part of my life, and I enjoy watching, playing sometimes, and discussing it with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love live music. I don’t have the voice or talent to sing, but I always dream about it.

Movies: Game of Thrones, Mob Land (recent one), some old-school Bollywood, Matrix, Inception, Marvel movies. I’ve watched countless films, but mostly in Russian.

Books: My favorite is The Art of War. I also enjoy Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Alchemist, and Sapiens.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lost my hair at the age of 18 due to a turbo hormonal change in my body. At first, it made me feel different and uncomfortable compared to my peers. But this experience taught me an important lesson: God created us all differently, and we cannot judge people based on appearance — whether it’s color, height, weight, orientation, or anything else. At the end of the day, we all share the same destiny, and life is too short not to respect one another.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can share about Uzbek culture, traditions, and my experience in the automotive world.

Learn: I’m curious about how people live in different places — their food, habits, and daily life.

Share: Respect, honest conversations, travel stories, experiences and about traditions and values.

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I stay with you, I will be respectful, keep things clean, and adapt to your interests and lifestyle. For me, Couchsurfing is not “just a free place to stay.” It’s a family of travelers — people who want to share culture, kindness, and authentic experiences.
