I'm Ali, traveler with a smile and never ending optimism 🤙

Born in Russia. Open-minded. Positive. Curious mind. Adventurous. Enthusiastic. Coffee lover ☕️. Passionate for learning new cultures, lakes and mountains. 23y.o. student working in finance (not boring :P) - yeeep, thats me :)

I've visited more than 15 countries so far, not only in Europe but also in Asia. Hope to discover amazing places in South America and Asia in nearest future (opened to crazy volunteering projects) !!!

Philosophy: stay positive and happy. Work hard and don't give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get the inside scoop from a local, hear stories, visit unique places and it never ends awesome if you sit on the comfortable bed in the hotel alone :)

I believe in Karma, so even if i don't have an opportunity to host you in Prague, i'll always be happy to show best places, give advice and drink some nice Czech beer with you.
