Call me a citizen of the world ;)

A quick intro: I'm Alexey and I live in Montpellier, France. I grew up in Russia but have been living abroad for the last 15+ years of my life (Singapore, Poland, France).
France is what I call home now.

An avid traveller, I am always up for exploring wonders and the beauty of our planet.
Being an impact-driven entrepreneur who grew up living next to the nature/forest, also a son of parents who studied forestry and have taught/introduced me the beauty of the natural world, I care about the environment and climate of the planet.

Why am I on CS?
While helping each other we can enrich our life with meeting of interesting personalities. I truly believe and support the diversity of opinions and perspectives, and I condemn any sort of violence (except in Arts).
I am always interested to meet and exchange with people of various background.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have become active again recently as I am able to host when I am in town and not travelling.
Some years ago I already hosted a few travelers and I also stayed at hosts' homes.

I support the concept of "sharing" and circular economy. And it's always fun to meet new people. =)
