🙋‍♂️ About me

Hi! My name is Evgeniy, but you can call me Johnny 🙂
• IG -Borodintravel

I’m 35 years old and I’m from Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
I work as a videographer, graphic designer, copywriter, and SMM manager.

🌎 I’m a travel blogger and have visited 20+ countries across 4 continents: Europe, Asia, America, and Africa.
I lived in the USA when I was 19.
Currently, I’ve been traveling around Southeast Asia for about six months, combining work and travel.

I’m a kind, calm, and communicative person with a good sense of humor.
I love sports, especially football — I used to play professionally in Russia and now play just for fun.

I enjoy walking around cities, trying street food, talking about culture and life, and learning new things. I prefer nature, hiking, and relaxed city walks rather than nightclubs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

🌍 Why I’m on Couchsurfing:

Because I love people and the world. I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, and sharing experiences.
For me, Couchsurfing is about real human connections, cultural exchange, and discovering the world through people.
And who knows — maybe one day in the future you’ll come to my city in Russia and be my guest at my home for a while.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎵 Music:

📚 Books:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

✨ One amazing thing I’ve done:

At 19, I went alone to the USA for six months to work — my first serious solo experience. At 33, I traveled solo across Southeast Asia for two months. And now, a year later, I’ve set off again for six months of solo travel, so I guess I’m a solo traveler now.

Another important thing for me is trying to help others whenever I can, especially animals — particularly dogs.

Teach, Learn, Share

🤝 Knowledge exchange:

I enjoy sharing experiences and learning from others. I’ve traveled to more than 20 countries, so I can share knowledge about travel, cultures, geography, and different ways of life. I’m also interested in psychology and enjoy meaningful conversations.
If someone is interested in creativity or video, I can share basic videography tips and practical lifehacks from my experience as a videographer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

🤝 What I can share with my hosts:

I’m a mobile videographer and photographer, and if you’d like, I’d be happy to make some photos or a short video as a nice memory of our time together — something simple and genuine.

I can cook, though I’m not a chef 🙂 I usually make simple, home‑style food, mostly Russian — things like eggs, fried potatoes, and other everyday meals.

I like keeping a clean and cozy home, so I’m always happy to help around the house with cleaning and dishes.

If you have pets, I’d be glad to help with them too. I enjoy spending time with animals and can pet‑sit cats or dogs for a week or two if needed.

Easygoing, tidy, respectful, and happy to help.
