I am an avid fan of travelling and meeting new people. It is interesting that things that you remember most vividly from your travels are associated with conversations you’ve had and interesting things you’ve heard from others. These impressions stick forever!

I am not actually hosting neither looking for hosts but I am always open to meet-up, have a drink and exchange some interesting stories and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find other solo travellers (or locals) to hang out with. Thats the main intent.

Interests

I love all kinds of sports but football for me is number one. And it drives most of my travels.

• running
• reading
• traveling
• football

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different genres but my preference is for rock music. Some good Iron Maiden guitar solos will never make you feel sick :)

Love reading despite the time constraints. Jack London, Gerald Durrell, Jo Nesbo, Mark Twain, O. Henry, Knut Hamsun and many, many others are among the favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Difficult to recall something really amazing :) I have once managed to get 5th place in city chess championship in my age category (long time ago though!). Also, once I had a futsal game as a goalkeeper with a broken wrist (did not know it was broken at that moment, it was just painful 😁). And we won that game!

Teach, Learn, Share

Always listen to other people. They have so much to share! Each person is an unwritten book. And it is up to us to soak different views, experiences and opinions.

From my side I can offer some interesting stories that either happened to me or that I have read about. I can also teach two different languages (Azerbaijani and Russian) and share some cultural peculiarities of the part of the world where I am from with those who are interested.
