I live in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Most of the time I spend working in the mountains, teaching people to climb mountains safely. The rest of the time, I spend writing something in my small apartment.

I love to travel, climbing, and meet semi-minded people along the way.

I hate discos, bars and noisy parties, do not consume alcohol nor meat. I prefer books, coffee and cookies instead.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I was hosting some people some time.

I was hosted by different people in different places, mostly in South East Asia and China. And I found couches not only with CS but sometimes people on the streets just invited me to their houses. The first few times it was very strange to me, but later I realized that it's so essential to help people, even if you see them first and, probably, last time in your life.
