About Me

Welcome and Thank You 4 being here.

Please Read Couch Rules before sending a request.

My Life Means:
1. Give Hand to Whoever Needs Help
2. Enjoy Life, Let Others Enjoy Also

~~~ PHILOSOPHY ~~~
Life is short, rhythm is vital, Enjoy every moment.

~~~ ABOUT ME ~~~
Located in Phnom Penh right now. *soon to be updated

I have been in tourism and hospitality since my childhood so CouchSurfing as a guest or a host was easy and enjoyale for me for already 16 years. I am grateful to my Russian brother Dmitry Svenkov for introducing me with Cs who passed away and left me alone in this world. (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/dims) I love you man.

In overall, I love to go out, meet friends, enjoy-drink-chat-dance-eat-have FUN :)

BUT

If you send requests without reading my profile and especially with copy+paste messages, expect to be ignored, I am not a hotel after all. Also I don't host anyone with no reference,

HOSTING

But if You Wanna Be Hosted, PLEASE READ COUCH RULES b4 sending a request.

1. If you are going to send a request, please be sure of your arrival dates and do not cancel in the last minute. Because sometimes I receive more than 1 request in same day and I would be already cancelled that request as you will be surfing my couch. Just be humane please.

2. Mostly I do the cleaning and washing at home, but I prefer my host to help with all this, especially throwing the rubbish, washing dishes, cleaning toilet after use etc.

3. My host will be provided with clean blankets and towels, internet, washing machine and all the other things.

4. As we live in a site with many houses around, doing too much noise at night is strictly forbidden.

5. Smoking is possible only outside of house or at the balcony.

6. I will be happy to cook or serve for you but I prefer my host to share shopping costs for food and drinks with me, so all goes well. On the other hand, if you have a very small budget and ready to eat only bread and water all day, please let me know from the beginning.

7. I go to sleep everyday very late, so if you are a night bird also, no problems at all.

8. I prefer my hosts to spend time with me and with my friends, so we can talk, laugh, explore and party together. You can always have your own time but if you gonna stick by yourself at all times, please do not bother me.

9. About me, I am a very easy-going, honest and cool person with full of energy and fun. I love to help people, have new friends.

12. Finally, do not forget to send a hosting request, I don't host people anymore without requests after my last bad experience..

13. Please don't send me copy paste messages or stuff with no respect, don't be surprised if I ignore you, this is not a HOTEL.

14. Please write 'RhythMasteR' on your request so I know you read all this.

Thank you for your time..

~~~ REFERENCES ~~~

As an old member, I have lots of positive references from wonderful friends from all over the world, but also
I got 3 negative refs. It was my fault to give them a chance for staying with me. They were all people without refs, or experience about Cs. So I have my lessons now. It is up to you how to think about me. You can simply have a look at other 100 positive references from all over the world that I don't choose or judge people because of gender or nationality.

There are always rotten ones in a fruit basket, so it is up to you about what to think or believe about me.

I just hope my future guests will not have prejudgement and be cool. Because I didn't deserve those 3 bloody refs, those people were rude, they used me and took advantage of my house and location. And I Swear to Allah, I never harassed anyone. I have Cs friends who have witnessed everything, I got proof, but I can't complain anywhere, nobody will help..So as I said, it is upto you what to decide. For Male or Female, my house is totally safe.

Interests

Online: I play PubG almost everyday, my ID is 5341107635 if you wanna play with me..

Music:
I like to listen variety of music, from Pink Floyd to Metallica, Sade to Dj Tiesto, I got 3 TB music, all ranges.. But I am mostly into trance music..

Puzzles:
I have been doing jigsaw puzzles since I was a kid, thanks to my mom who provided me great skills, in my life and in the puzzle world..I do very often, but more I buy, more I do, and it becomes an obsession then addiction applies, coz I love it so much :)

1.000 pieces take only half a day to complete, but I would prefer to enjoy every small peace of it, so I buy bigger numbers of pieces, 3.000 mostly.

The biggest one I made was 4.000 pieces and took 3 and a half months to complete.

Diving: It is my biggest hobby which I do so often, sometimes I go for a simple swim, sometimes for exploring the beauty of underwater world..

That's all for now :)
