Hey there! I'm Slava and i believes that the best part of any journey is the people you meet along the way. I’m pretty low-maintenance: I can entertain myself for hours, but I also genuinely enjoy hanging out and sharing a meal.
By day, I'm salesman in my own workshop. By night (and weekends!), I'm an explorer, a foodie, and a lover of good conversations that last until 3 AM. I’ve been on both sides of the CS experience – as a guest and a host – so I know the magic of a good travel story and the comfort of a safe place to crash. I speak fluent sarcasm and bad jokes, so consider yourself warned!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, Couchsurfing is not about finding a free pillow – it's about finding a friend. I love the 'hacking the travel experience' aspect of it: seeing a city through the eyes of a local, discovering the tiny cafes that aren't in the guidebooks, and sharing stories from different corners of the world.

I’m here to pay forward the kindness I’ve received during my travels. Whether I’m hosting you or staying with you, my goal is the same: to share a genuine connection, swap travel tips, and maybe cook a questionable meal together.

Interests

Travel (obviously!): From getting lost in the mountains to wandering chaotic markets.

Food: I love to eat, I love to cook (I make a mean shchi ), and I love trying local street food.
