We haven't met yet so let me introduce myself .. My name is Andrey. Hi, nice to meet you ))

I'm 47 years old 🗽

My dream is to make around the world trip .. with Couchsurfing of course ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

I enjoy trying different food from different countries and I love fruits very much.

I have a very large collection of motorcycle license plates from all over the world. Only motorcycle ones. Over 100 countries, over 350 plates. I will be very happy if you could bring me one motorcycle license plate for my collection

I also have my own channel about my travels (in Russian language) on Telegram: http://t.me/akspyder77

I was born by chance in Feodosia when it was still part of the Ukrainian SSR. I lived in the city of Ivanovo and spent most of my youth in the very south of Kamchatka. I graduated from university in Ivanovo and moved to Siberia - Langepas and Khanty-Mansiysk. I lived for a couple of years in the most beautiful city in Russia - St. Petersburg. Now I live on Staten Island in New York.
I love traveling - I’ve visited 34 countries. Previously by car, now mostly by motorcycle. I traveled across Russia from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad. In 2012, I left Khanty-Mansiysk and traveled through Europe and the Balkans, visiting 18 countries and covering 20,000 km. I have traveled extensively across Europe and have visited almost all the states in the USA. I hold the Iron Butt and Iron Butt 2000 qualifications - I rode 1,610 km and 2,000 km respectively in 24 hours.
I practiced Aikido. I’ve tried skiing, snowboarding, kiting, wakeboarding, diving, and have jumped out of planes and helicopters. I love extreme sports in all their forms.
My current goals: learn English, Spanish, and French, complete the AFF course (parachute jumping), do a round-the-world trip (motorcycle, car, yacht), walk the Santiago de Compostela route, and swim across the Bosporus...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and I want to meet new interesting people from different countries. I want to improve my English and Spanish skills, try different national food and know about your traditions.

Interests

I collect motorcycle license plates. Now in my collection there are license plates from more than 100 countries of the world. I have regular, police, military, taxi license plates. Over 350 license plates from motorcycles. Only from motorcycles, not from automobiles. One day I will create my own place with delicious beer and snacks, motorcycles on the walls and my collection of motorcycle license plates.

✔️ If you can help me with this and you can bring one motorcycle license plate for me - I will be very happy with it 😍👍👍
