Hi everyone,

my name is Aleks. I am originally from Russia but live in Turkey from the middle of 2021. In Istanbul I am learning Turkish and do some business in construction sphere. When I just started to use Couchsurfing for me, like for many of people, it mostly was a way to save some money. Now it is a way to integrate myself deeply in the culture of the country I am visiting. I can hangout in the club or I can spend time sitting at home in a calm. Flexibility is a word you can often use to describe me. I open to any of the people’s mind (religious, sexual, politic and etc.) and can accept almost everything. I am a Master in the field of Physics science. I am a fun of Asian culture, especially art. I am a driver, diver, chess player, guitar player, video-game player, life player. Be my guest or invite me to your house, I will find a way to communicate with you even if you are ultra-shy person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To better investigate a culture of foreign countries. To help people without money live for free at my place.

Interests

I like German philosophers. My favorite - Nietzsche.
My favorite hobby - cooking. I really like the Russian and Asian cuisine. I can cook almost everything, except of baking. I love it.
My second favorite hobby - hookah. The hookah culture in Russia on the top position throughout the world. It even was my job for a couple of years.
I love nature and fresh air. Always glad to get out of the bustling big city to the quiet forest or the lake.
I want to cognize the world and myself.
