About Me

I have been into travelling and meeting people since I was 7 (after moving from my home city in Russia). I moved around a bit (having lived in the US for 2 years and Switzerland for 5) until settling in the beautiful city of Porto :)
I love outdoor activities, cooking (bonus if you can teach me how to cook something new :)) and I usually mix a lot of sarcasm, don't mind that ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, and I think the best way to travel is with the help of someone local :)

Interests

I love anything that has to do with innovation. On my free time I hike, take pictures (follow me on instagr.am/leokho ), play tennis, go running and love cooking and having a good beer or wine.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I really like many things, it all depends on my mood.. I listen to jazz, blues, rock, rap, metal, ...
Books: It's a tricky one, I don't read that much, the book needs to be fun to read -- last book I read was Catcher in The Rye and now I'm reading Flash Boys
Movies: Anything with a good unpredictable twist.. or a good and smart dialogue :)
Series: GoT, Narcos, Modern Family, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Stranger Things, House of Cards, ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think so far it was the Balkan roadtrip: Romania-Bulgaria-Greece-Albania-Montenegro-Bosnia and Herzegovina-Serbia-Romania
My bucket list includes, among other, hiking in Nepal or Peru and doing the transiberian.
