Hey there!

I'm Stan 😄

Originally from Odessa, Ukraine, but grew up in Fair Lawn, NJ. After college I worked as a Technical Recruiter in Brooklyn for seven years which I've finally decided isn't for me.

Was just in SE Asia for three months and am about to start a long trip to Europe, Nepal, India and beyond!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just recently made a friend in Thailand who has been Couchsurfing (hosting, and staying) for several years and he had so many good things to say about it. Thought I'd give it a try!

Interests

I just started getting into photography and have been making music using Ableton Live for several years now.

Love meeting new people and getting to know the places I visit!

• culture
• photography
• yoga
• meditation
• music
• solo travel
• food
• nature
• spirituality

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm more into indie/alternative rock and electronic music, but am generally open to anything.

Three most recent books I've read are The Celestine Prophecy, Shantaram, and China Underground.

Last few movies I watched are Lion, Chasing Coral, and Okja.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got to swim with wild dolphins off the coast of Kizimkaze, Zanzibar.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to give lessons on Ableton live. Would also love to learn a bit of your language and help you out with English if needed 😀

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, conversation and a home cooked meal 😄
