About Me

I lived with my 6 siblings and parents till i was 16, studied at an underground school in Minsk, Belarus from the age of 16 till 18, then moved to Italy for two years to an international school United World College of the Adriatic, travelled a bit around Europe, then studied at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, US. Went back to Belarus. Worked at an IT company. Then went to China first to teach English, then art. And now I make music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Most currently I want to travel around China and do music shows for those interested, and I'm thinking perhaps Couchsuring is a good platform for that.

I like traveling, meeting new people, like to see the place I travel to from the inside.

So far couch-surfed in Chicago, New York, Paris, Cairo, and Beijing. Different every time. It's always about people really.

Unfortunately, unable to host at the moment, but hopefully in the future I can give back.
