Hi there! I’m an easygoing traveler who loves meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I have a passion for the outdoors and am always looking for the next adventure, whether it’s exploring local hidden gems or spending a day on the golf course. Golf has been a fun way for me to enjoy nature, challenge myself, and connect with fellow enthusiasts. When I’m not traveling or playing golf, you can find me enjoying good food, diving into a book, or swapping travel stories with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the perfect way to connect with like-minded people who share a passion for exploration and open-mindedness. I believe the best way to truly experience a place is by getting to know its people and their day-to-day lives. Through Couchsurfing, I’ve had unforgettable experiences, made lifelong friends, and discovered local spots I would have never found on my own.

Interests

I love anything that combines exploration, creativity, and human connection. Traveling is at the top of my list because it opens my mind to new perspectives and experiences. I’m also a big fan of sports, especially golf, which has taken me to some beautiful courses around the world. When I’m not outside, I enjoy reading about history and business.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: My reading list includes business and war strategy books—I find them fascinating for both personal and professional growth. Some of my favorites are Zero to One by Peter Thiel, The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene, and The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

Movies: I enjoy feel good comedies, documentaries, and anything that sparks a good conversation afterward.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent a day in a small Belarusian village and got a genuine taste of rural life. The locals welcomed me like family, inviting me to help out with daily chores and everything from gathering fresh produce to tending to the animals. I even had the chance to learn a few traditional Belarusian recipes and share stories around a cozy kitchen table. The warmth and generosity of the community, coupled with the simplicity of village life, made it an unforgettable experience that reminded me of the beauty of human connection.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I’m happy to share tips on golf (swing basics, putting drills, etc.), as well as my approach to travel budgeting.

Learn: I’m always excited to learn new languages and local customs.

Share: I love sharing my travel stories, cultural insights, and a good laugh. If you have a local tradition or dish, I’d be thrilled to try it out and learn more about your culture.
