Hi!

I love:
- new experiences,
- learning to do something different (does not really matter what),
- exploring new places (especially abandoned places, huge metal, and concrete constructions),
- meeting interesting people and listening their life stories

Few fun facts about me:
- have been to 43/81 cities of Turkey, mostly by hitchhiking
- worked as a teacher in Baghdad for 1,5 years
- I played forest laser-tag for 2 years!
- I completed 100 days travel across Russia, spending 1000 rub (14$ each day, including everything)
- Defended my thesis in Smolensk autostation
- I do not drink (maybe gonna do it at my wedding though, haha), but I'm okay about it, I like it when people around me do it because they become funnier and talk more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
