Update April 2025

For the rest of the year or longer I am travelling and home is in my head… if you want to join me there, you’re welcome… no physical space to host you at though. Sorry.

I eat, I sleep, I read, I travel

I am addicted to travel and on reaching the grand age of 50 in 2024, I quit a job I loved to dedicate my life to travel.

For travel is my passion and my addiction, which I’d rather feed instead of give up.

Although I try to couchsurf to keep costs low, I am a good guest because I also host whenever I can, so I know both sides of the picture.

My reason for travel is to grow and live a meaningful life. To get to know and appreciate new cultures and different ideas and perspectives, widening my horizons.

When I travel I get pleasure in interacting with people, seeing how they live, sharing their everyday life if at all possible. I also love food and look forward to trying local delicacies, art, culture and history - the older the better.

To know more about me, and what hosts and guests think of me, there are my references.

* Although I have hosted, and will continue to host, young surfers, people closer to my age will be given preference.

* If you want to go out at night, please find another host.

* I believe it is common courtesy to leave a reference. If you cannot be bothered, please do not ask to be hosted.

* One night is a hassle, two nights are acceptable, three ideal, four may be fine if we get along. Do NOT send requests more than two weeks before the visit is due. They will be declined without explanation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, share experiences, and learn about a country through its people, be they born there or adopted by the country or city.

Since I first wrote my profile many years ago, I have been both host and guest quite a bit and nearly all of my experiences were very positive. I have kept in touch with quite a few people, travelled with some of them, and became really good friends with a few. Couchsurfing has been overall such a rewarding experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel is the most amazing thing, and I do it as much as I can. It keeps life interesting.

One of my best journeys was riding pillion on a motorbike for five months crossing Central Asia from Turkmenistan to Pakistan via all the Stans then back to Georgia via Russia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that everyone can teach me something and I look forward to learn from hosts and travellers. I try to share some of my spare time with fellow travellers who happen to grace my country with their presence.
