Overview
About Me
I love traveling anywhere and prefer to take my time exploring a country rather than running through countries to check them off my list. I love hiking, being outdoors, and learning about other people and cultures through food.
Also, I love mountains, I have been climbing mountains since 2009. A few of my dreams came true - I was at the top of the highest mountain in Europe - Elbrus, after that I was visiting Mont Blanc. If I find any mountain, I will definitely visit it! :)
The last two winters I spent traveling around Asia. I visited Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia, Laos, Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam. I love Asia, people, and culture and I will definitely go traveling here this year.
I work as a web developer, the Internet is almost everywhere and it is easy to work and travel when I want to ;)
Some of my dreams are:
- to climb a volcano
- to skydive
- to go surfing or windsurfing
I started a blog about traveling. It was in Russian first, but after a while, I decided that I want to share my stories with all the people around the World, so I translated it in English, so you have choices which language you would like to read ;) Anyway, take a look https://adventurersnotes.com/ and be inspired by my own experience!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love exploring and getting out of my comfort zone by meeting new people, have conversations to polish my speaking and vocabulary, know about their stories, and make new friends.
CS it is not only about cheaper travels, it is about people connections, their lives, and passion to do our World better!
