Update! Moved to Spain yay
Gay guy finally living in a friendly, accepting country! I MADE IT YESSSS (probably one of the bravest decisions to move to Spain, also super spontaneous and nerve-racking)
Hi! My name is Vlad and I've been living in Turkey, Alanya since November 2021. I'm a freelance English teacher, so I'm really into learning foreign languages. I speak Eng, Rus, Turkish, Spanish, Chinese.

CRAZY STORY - I collected 1k dollars from strangers and went to a concert of my fave artist to Africa last year. I will tell u more in person

Also, I thoroughly enjoy singing. Mariah Carey (the one who sings ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU) is my favorite artist. Plus, I’m into meditation and have been VEGAN for 4+ years (we can cook falafel together ahah)!

I MAKE TOO MANY JOKES! sometimes I think ppl should pay me for my stand up comedy, really.

my fave thing in the world is journaling in a specialty coffee place

I dropped out of 2 universities. Sooo yeah im a proud holder of 2 non-finished non-degrees in Chinese and French

I love photography, design, graphic novels, reddit

I SING A LOT. Im proudly a member of a gospel choir in Valencia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I LOVE talking to people, so getting to know someone from a completely different country is on my list! I want to make meaningful connections and really go deeper into the culture. Plus couch surfing for me is a lot more about exchanging and I love that
