I founded a private language school in Samarkand helping people to speak English and prepare them for entrance exams to universities and get IELTS/TOEFL certificates.
3 months ago (December 2023) I decided to take a break from work and start traveling and my girlfriend Amelie(France) joined me on my travel in Turkey. Currently(March 1) we are on Workaway in Fethiye helping build a sustainable farm in the forest, learning about herbalism and planting.
I've hosted quite a lot of travellers from around the world. Some I did get along, some, made friends with.
Why am I on couchsurfing? To share knowledge, to learn, connect on a deep level, inspire and get inspired.
When it comes to Amélie, she was a publisher for many years editing books and creating layouts for them. Then she decided to dedicate herself to herbalism and worked with medicinal plants in greenhouses in France and Belgium.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted some people that became my landmarks on the journey of my life. I look for those moments - landmarks, guidelines... I've just realized that I am a truth seeker, and have a mission, just like everybody else, laid on my shoulders.

Interests

I love active lifestyle, running, cardio workout, dancing, swimming, hiking, trekking, capoeira, meditation, fasting
To decipher the meaning of life through deep human conversations and truly connecting with others on a profound level is what makes me tick.
