About Me

The earliest I remember myself was 1991 and that was me playing boardgames and PC. So I am quite an experienced gamer. Really keen on things as gadgets, PC hardware, videogames, boardgames, consoles, TVs etc. So to sum it up I am an electronic fan. On the other hand I’ve spent a lot of time outdoors and love to travel, walk, workout (yeah, gamers also workout hah). Football (in the US it is called soccer) is my second passion. I know pretty everything about football. Was in top 100 in the world in Quiz Up app. Love to read books, especially science fiction, horrors and historical. I don’t watch too much TV series because there are too many of them now (Lost, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones ofcourse I’ve seen ha), I prefer movies instead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Except sharing the experience of my past journeys, I want to meet new friends. You never know where and when you can meet your lifetime friends, so couchsurfing is one of these places.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC. I am a very big rock fan. But what is rock for me? It is starting from Pink Floyd to Napalm Death. The Doors is one of my favourite bands too. I know a lot about pop music too, but not into listnening it. Despite the fact I am an orthodox rocker, I get along well with everyone and stick to the rule: the one who drives chooses the music :) MOVIES. Star Wars fan since early 90’s (still very loyal to Star Track fans and can watch ST too:). Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, Fight Club, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Shining etc. Pretty classic set, huh. Still I love to watch new movies, but those that I’ve listed before are the best. BOOKS. Big Stephen King’s fan. Read nearly all his books, My favourite one right now is 11/22/63. If you haven’t read then read! It is awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved a drowning friend.
Ok, except saving someone’s life I made a long trip across South Africa. It was 4500 km by car and I can say that was the best experience in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

History is my strong point. I know a lot about the world history, Russsian history, Israel history, Wars ( 1st and 2nd WW) etc. Can talk about it for hours.
Also as I can call myself a geek I love board games and videogames. So all video games since late 80’s are familiar to me. I can help you with choosing a console or a PC for you as I am rly good in hardware and software stuff :)
Since I traveled a lot I know much about different countries and nations. We will have common topics for sure.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I really like to talk and meet new people. So my previouse life experience is a thing a I would love to share with you. I will try to break stereotypes about the things you didn’t know before.
Also I can help you install or maybe even fix your electronics.
I have 2 master’s degrees and one bachelor’s degree (Law and Petroleum engineering), does it give me a reason to call myself an educated person? I hope so :) But please, don’t call me a professor, professors don’t have tattoos :)
P.S. Since I lived in China for 8 months I talk chinese a bit. This fact suprises everyone haha :)
