About Me

I live in a tiny tiny house in Kiketi, summer houses village near Tbilisi. There is a city bus and it takes 50-80 minutes to come from city center depending on the traffic.

There is a small couch and lots of space in the yard to pitch the tent. Electricity, often hot water, I can share internet with you.

I prefer stays around 3-7 days

I WON'T ACCEPT REQUESTS FOR MONTHS IN ADVANCE!
I won't respond to one word requests from empty profiles)

I would always prefer hiking or a cabin in the mountains over partying and city nightlife.
I don't drink and like to be active. Always up for some exercise – climbing, yoga, running etc.

I am an uncomplicated person, happy to meet people. Like to hang but also like to spend time alone with my cats

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a place to call home, giving back I guess. In the city I have a flatmate and a busy schedule, so I only host when the stars align. Don't be shy to ask, there is a beautiful russian saying "for simply asking no one breaks your face". It rhymes in Russian, and of course everyone knows that things which rhyme can't be offensive.

I want to discover the world and get to know many people I wouldn't have a chance to meet within my usual social bubble.
I want to learn from everyone I meet.

Interests

I am interested in people and skills. If there is anything you are good at, please teach me :) I don't care whether you love backflips or making cheese, or can show me how to disassemble the car engine.. Honestly, if that's something you enjoy, then it would be very interesting for me.
I'd love to learn everything.

Of course I love animals, and nature, and delicious foods, but who doesn't?
I can spend days trekking, love to swim, am really interested in learning new ways to build fires.

Music, Movies, and Books

The most recent book I loved was "How high we go in the dark"

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about plants, gardening, teas. I make kombucha.

I can teach you how to cook healthier or how to train cats, walk in the forest or cook potatoes well. Feel free to just ask, I have a bunch of random skills, maybe some can be useful for you :)

If you are brave enough we can try to learn Georgian, which is quite a unique language, I'm sure you'll enjoy learning it :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can go for a walk/jog/hike/biking/kayaking together, drink tea and exchange stories :)
I'd love to teach you some belarussian language and culture, old and new

If you need help with anything - just say it.
I can feed the cat, walk the dog, entertain granny - whatever is needed.
Would be my pleasure to cook breakfast for you or buy some ingredients so we can make your country's traditional foods together.
