About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To figure out what this whole adult thing is.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is funny, especially when its not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got into couch surfing when I moved to Minsk and I was desperately searching for some English speaking friends.

I ended up hosting and making some new friends, as well as giving general advice/help to people making their way through Belarus (not the easiest country to travel in).

Now I'm still looking for fun people who want to spend some time exploring, eating, and drinking.

I'm happy to host if my schedule allows. I've already had some great experiences with CS. If you need help while you're here, don't hesitate to ask. I may not be the one to help, but I'll do my best to get you in touch with someone who can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few people, and have been to several unofficial CS meet ups in Minsk (bars, resturants, bbq's, etc) CS is great :)

Interests

Hmm... I don't know if I'm so interesting that its worth sharing my interests. I like lots of stuff :)

  • bbq
  • drinking
  • traveling
  • surfing

Teach, Learn, Share

Minsk is a funny place. Please be sure to take care of as much paperwork as possible BEFORE you enter the country. I've already had a few friends come across trouble staying or leaving.

The KGB still exists here, and they will interrogate you at the airport if your visa is expired. They carry guns, not smiles.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belarus, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belarus, United Kingdom, United States
