About Me

ABOUT ME

Once, I wrote a list of things I wanted to do in this lifetime - things to try, places to visit, and personal qualities to develop. For the past 10 years, I have been traveling the world, pursuing my dreams, which have become my goals, and inspiring others through my blogs on YouTube, Instagram, and other social media platforms

CURRENT MISSION

Through sharing my own journey and experiences, I am encouraging a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about living life to the fullest, making a positive impact on the world, and supporting one another along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a surfer only now. Lost 3 years I am non stop traveling. But I am sure, I will enjoy to host people when I'll stay somewhere and have my own flat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Few times, in different countries south as Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia. Now we have friendship with every person I have stayed with.

Interests

I am passionate about extreme sports: skateboarding, surfing, rock climbing, diving, mountain hiking, and so on... I love motorcycles and have traveled a lot on a Soviet-made motorcycle. At home, I enjoy riding my touring-enduro Aprilia Pegaso. I am not a musician, but I am interested in music. I am not an artist, but I enjoy performing. I am not a calligrapher, but I love writing hieroglyphs. I am interested in games such as chess, poker, and the game of life. I enjoy solitude, but I can easily liven up a party. I value honesty in people and strive to be as honest and open with the world, and most importantly, with myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer music that resonates with my mood during a particular period of my life. It doesn't depend on the genre or artist, as the vibe and meaning are the most important. Sometimes, I listen to one song on repeat for several days and attach it to my emotional experiences during that period. When I listen to it again in the future, it's like a time machine that reproduces the emotions I felt when I first heard the song.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode on an old Soviet motorcycle from Thailand to Russia.

•I've bungee jumped from the world's highest commercial bungee jump in Macau (233 meters).

I've spent a night on the Great Wall of China.

I let a snake bite me.

I swam with sharks.

I climbed a three-kilometer mountain without trails or navigation to melt snow on the summit and make coffee.

I traveled on a longboard from Kyrgyzstan to Kazakhstan with an 18-kilogram backpack on my shoulders.

I traveled for several months in Asia without belongings or money, playing music on the streets, sleeping on rooftops, and trying to meditate in temples.

I volunteered as a teacher at a Buddhist temple in Cambodia.

But the most important thing, of course, is that I became a father.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experience on how to achieve any goals, how to build relationships with people, and how to learn to listen to the hints of destiny by drawing analogies between what is happening and what is understood.
