* From November 9, 2022, I'm on a trip in Southeast Asia. Currently in Vietnam*

I'm a free traveler, poet and writer, also professional IT manager and tour guide with a lot of hiking and climbing experience in different countries. Citizen of the world, volunteer, creator and editor of cultural project Stenograme (http://stenograme.ru/). I like to travel by hitchhiking and prefer nature than cities, but feel comfortable anywhere.

Curios about learning new languages and exploring different cultures, have been volunteering in Russia, Hungary, Mexico, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, India, excited of permaculture, eco-construction, communities, knowledge exchange and spiritual development. Don't like borders, but respect limits, trying to be calm, but full of energy. Interested in culture, art, philosophy, alternative practices of human being.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really appreciate human communication, openness, friendship, solidarity and mutual assistance, and Couchsurfing has helped me many times to find real friends and associates, this is really a community of like-minded people, which makes it possible to share and live together the amazing moments of this life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
