ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Kostya and I was born in the wonderful city Krasnoyarsk. It is located in the heart of Siberia.
There are very beautiful nature and sincere people here.

Now I living with my GF near Moscow city (around 1 hour by train)

About 9 years ago, I quit my last official work, and since I live just for fun.
One day, I wanted to change my environment, I bought a plane ticket to one side and the next morning I flew to Thailand. Despite the fact that it was almost my first trip abroad, and my English was very poor (and I did not know anything about the Thai), I decided to travel alone, and not as tourist. As a result, I have lived in Thailand for 2 months. This has opened up new horizonts in my life, it gave new friends, interesting people and events. And since then, every year I spend in Southeast Asia for several months.
In the years 2015-2016, I even ventured on a two-month hitchhiking along the Thailand-Laos-Vietnam-Thailand.
From February 2017 till August I was traveling 6-months by hitchhiking around Iran, Turkey, and Georgia. It was unforgettable interesting experience.l Thank for all people that we meet during this travel!

In the future I dreaming to visit Latin America, New Zealand, Japan, India and Korea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think CS is a great idea and fine opportunity to be familiar with other cultures, local peoples and it make traveling more interesting.
