About Me

Born and raised in Georgia 🇬🇪 but I got lucky to travel and move around.

I love being outside, exploring new places, karaoke dancing, small parties, bonfires, photography, climbing, trees, talking about anything and meeting new people who are passionate about life generally no matter what their hobbies are!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I meet somebody from another country in Georgia, I am always eager to help them because as a local I know the things that is reliable and useful for foreigners. Getting in touch with locals helps me to truly feel the spirit of the place. As a traveler in another country, I would like to meet somebody with the same point of view.

🌍I fell in love with the CS community immediately after I tried it first - Using the application while travelling has left nice memories in my mind and awesome people among my international friends.
Millions of people who use CS are absolute strangers but being passionate about adventures is what connects all of us.

Music, Movies, and Books

▪️I love movies started from old soviet Georgian ones continued with Marvel and ended with Monty Phython
▪️Music from the 20th, mainly rock (my music taste is a bit old-fashioned tbh :)) Well, not only but still
▪️As a child I was mostly spending summers at the village lacking of the same-aged children and my favourite thing was reading books from my parents' and grandpa's library.
Lately, I mostly read university handouts, so I guess I have missed the latest bestsellers

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not amazing but fun to mention:
▫️Living completely outdoor in the mountains for three months
▫️Falling asleep at the stage of electronic music concert

Teach, Learn, Share

The more I travel, the better I realize how much I don't know. I learn something new from everyone I have met and will ever meet in my life. We can share our stories, experiences, visions.

I work at TransCaucasian Trail and can provide you with valuable information about hiking opportunities in Georgia, as well as to tell you about that cool project.
If you're interested I would love to teach you the basics of Georgian language (swear words included!) and our creepy alphabet, it won't be the most useful thing as only Georgians use it, but still :))

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am glad to share the culture of my old and little country, prepare traditional meal (at least try to do my best) and let the hosts know that in case of visiting Georgia, they can consider me as a friend.
I am a big fan of conversation and people say I am good at it, but at the beginning I might be a bit shy. Cheer me up if you feel that :))

I always respect the rule of any staying place, especially if it is a private apartment.
