Currently living in Foshan, China 🇨🇳. For a quick response text me via WeChat: swintintiki or IG: stepanov.jr

You can call me JAY. All my life long I lived in Vitebsk, Belarus. This small town is the birthplace of famous artists Chagall and Malevich. We've got picturesque nature and not so good economy:) We have a huge dump trucks and small salaries.
I hitchhiked with a tent in Europe and Asia for a long time. I spend my spare time mostly doing STREET PHOTOGRAPHY 📸. This is the biggest passion in my life now.
I love science fiction. My dream is to successfully publish a book, own a hostel and go to outer space (I’m ok with 2/3). My life and work is here: Stepanov.jr (IG).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to discover people and their culture more than sights and buildings, and CS is the best means for that. Let’s be friends.

Interests

I like reading books and writing down quotes. Dialogues in movies I like more than action. Different drawings and diagrams attract me too. I love making people laugh. I looooove dogs especially dachshund and Jack Russell Terrie. I love railway stations and trains; political maps; learning new things; telling my stories. I also like to write my thoughts down on paper. I like backpacks, any kinds; fruit shampoo; snooker (Ronnie O'Sullivan is the best). Among cars I prefer Mini Cooper. I like spring; beacons; volcanoes; making bonfires; long bridges; pandas; compasses; board games. I play chess.
And I dislike stereotypes, souvenirs, ignorance, gold and snakes.
