Salut, my dear unmet friend!
And welcome to the best city and the best neighborhood in the world 😊

While not expressing my love to Berlin, I do narrative design, hike, play music, videogames and TTRPGs, go clubbing or chill with vinyls or good movies.

I'm interested in a thousand things and looking forward to enjoying the city together.

Please, if you want to stay with me, read my whole description, otherwise I'll have to cancel your request without commenting on it. Although probably I will, cause it's CS and we are all creating it together 🤍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's the best community in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Remember 'Avatar' movie? I covered a very similar story back in Cambodia. And yes, they burnt homes, killed people and kidnapped journalists there.
Hunted a serial murderer called "Russian Rambo". And was the first person to locate him.
Founded best music webzine Hook in Russia. It was like a 60's pirate radio station in 'A Boat that Rocked'.
