About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm seeking something. I'm not sure what. Meanwhile, just trying to increase amount of laughter on this planet))

ABOUT ME

I love life. And I love the fact that I love life. And I hate to sit on one place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My country generally does not seem to be very hospitable from outside, so I try to do my best to prove the opposite. I love to show to surfers interesting places in my city and around it, to make people feel welcome. And usually thy like: "Woow, Belarus is such a nice country!". And I'm like: "Hell yeah".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Increasingly positive.

Interests

Forest. I love forest. And campfire. And friends with guitar. And mulled wine, made on campfire.

Bicycle. That is my life. If there is any way I can get to a location on a bike (even if I get there all in sweat), I will go on bike.

Mountains. They are perfect. I really hope I could get there one more time.

I am fond of activities with high degree of uncertainty (extreme, travelling, hitch-hiking).
I know a million of belorussian jokes and I am practically unstoppable once I start to tell them.
I love to taste food I have never tried before, to speak with people I have never met before, to go to places where I have never been before.
Getting in the middle of nowhere by bike or by hitchhiking and trying to find a way out - completely my type of thing. Generally, I like to wander across the areas I have never been, by foot or by bike.
I am also fond of rope-jumping.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping down with the rope from a cliff in Navagio bay
