About Me

I was born in the city near the Black sea where a lot of nationalities live together and every avanturist tries to catch his luck for the tail :)
Maybe that's why i like to learn and try new things (languages, cultures, food, activities, etc) and meet a new people.
I'm opened to the world and i think that world is opened for me.

last three years I've been working and living in China

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sometimes I host peoples in my home or spend time together in my city

Sometimes I travel and look for the same things

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Different.
On the beginig of 2017-th i had hosted about 250 people from Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Spain, France, Germany, Check Republic, China, Egypt, Moldova, Belarus, Nederlands, USA, Turkey, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Litva, Slovenia, Australia, Kyrgyzstan.

I don't know why but about 10% of sufrers leave references.

A several moments about cs experience:
... that evening was cold and I offered my surfers from Turkey to go to the my friend's sculpture workshop. The rest of the evening Turkish club girl and my wife did an art welding. And they were very happy...
... I and couple surfers from Poland couldn't find an exit from catacombs about 6 hours. Finally we went out through some garbage on the private territory.
... finally that evening 9 people have arrived. As I promised, I hosted they but it was real time tetris...
... we stayed with that awesome host in small Turkish city. And in the evening the host asked as - "do you smoke.. not a tobacco...". And then showed a little farm...
... Next day our kazakh host told as about mountaineering run to 4010 meters mountain. And we decided to participate in this event...
