About Me

Sometimes I can be extremely boring, sometimes not that much. Sometimes I like talking a lot that no one would say I’m an introvert. I love people and like meeting new folks and befriend.

I believe people are initially always good and wish no harm to harmless people, except war criminals etc.

I used to travel more often, but several years ago my life has changed significantly that I become a political prisoner in the Putin’s Russia and was put in jail for 3 years for my journalistic activities. Since I was released I moved to the UK and live in London. Still love traveling and eager discovering new places and new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing was introduced to me by a backpacker I met around 15 years ago while traveling in the Caucasus mountains and I hosted her out of CS. Since then I fall in love with the platform and hosted many people and also been hosted myself. I love people who are open for new adventures and discovery.
