About Me

CURRENT MISSION

explore and experience the world

ABOUT ME

Much to my satisfaction, exploring new places and meeting people from a diverse range of backgrounds help me to understand the world better.

After some time living, working and traveling abroad, I am now back home in Sydney and back at university studying ICT. If I have time, I'd be happy to meet up with couchsurfers here and show them around Sydney.

I'm a quiet person and I prefer chilling in quiet places- noisy places such as bars and clubs are not my cup of tea.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Always fun, interesting and memorable. I've surfed in the Caucasus, the Baltics, Central Asia, Russia,Belarus, Turkey and Iran.

I use to host surfers back at my place in Moscow, Russia; Baghdati, Georgia and Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. I enjoy both surfing and hosting, as both allow me to meet a diverse range of personalities around the world. I also met up with surfers in my home city of Sydney and happily showed them around.

I was featured in a Kazakh news article about couchsurfing (in Russian): http://www.diapazon.kz/aktobe/aktobe-news/47471-kauchsjorfing-puteshestvuy-ne-vyhodya-iz-doma.html

I was also mentioned in a Belorussian article about couchsurfing in Minsk (in Russian)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Australian English. I enjoy conversations and we definitely can learn about each other's culture, society, travel experiences and perspectives.
I am currently learning Russian and if I can practice it with you, that would be great.
I can teach you how to eat with chopsticks and make Vietnamese curry (provided that I can find the ingredients in town).
