I was born in Uzbekistan, but moved to the Czech Republic at the age of 19, currently living in the very center of beautiful Prague. I love languages and comparative linguistics, so my experience from a new country is always supplemented by what I learn about the language.

I believe in doing good deeds and helping people, since I have the feeling there is some sort of balance of good and bad in the world. I guess that's what you call karma?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, full-time traveling has not been on my agenda for some time now, but with Prague being quite a hot spot for couchsurfers from all around the word, I like attending our regular CS meetings, get to know people and listen about their experiences.

I don't have a real possibility to host anyone at the moment; however, I often check the Prague emergency couch group, so if you are having last-minute troubles with finding a place, I might write you and offer a place for you and your sleeping bag.

Besides, when in Prague, I'm always glad to drink something with you, show you around the city or give you some information on various Prague attractions.
