About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stop walking and hitchhiking. Time for a new chapter in life in Bishkek.

ABOUT ME

MOST IMPORTANTLY, I DO NOT USE CS FOR THE PURPOSE OF DATING or GETTING FREE FANCY DINNER OR MONEY.

If any of you has this kind of purpose on here, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME A MESSAGE. You will definitely be IGNORED and probably REPORTED to CS Admin.

If I'm not busy, I host any surfers for cultural exchange and friendship regardless of gender, race, culture, and religion.

I love discussion, you can bring up any serious or silly topics. I'd like to see how discussion will work between us.

I love cooking and baking. I will probably invite you to have my homemade Thai, Chinese, Russian, or Korean food. My chewy fudgy brownies and strawberry trifle are very delish!

I speak Thai & English. My Russian is pretty weak at the moment. I'll work on it but please feel free to teach me any of your native languages. I like to see what the world sounds like in different languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

host, surf, and hang out with random people from time to time. I'm kind of outgoing introvert. I'm really social, but sometimes I prefer to head back home after work and rest alone.

Interests

I feel comfortable being around open-minded/ straightforward people because it's easy to deal with our friendships.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Love listening to folk songs and instrumental music of several different ethnic groups or countries. Favorite music so far is from Mongolia, Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Peru, Georgia, Sudan, China, and Thailand.

I can read a book but hardly finish it. I watch some movies but always fall asleep before they're over.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first hitchhiking occurred in Czech Republic with Karolina, my CZ friend. Somebody picked up us.

My friend and I hitchhiked an army bus in Karabakh on the way back to Yerevan. Finally we decided to get out of the bus in the middle of nowhere. If you want to know the whole story, I'll tell you in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not embarrassed to show people my little knowledge. I always accept the fact that I don't know everything. I love asking questions. I love listening to different types of people. I love watching people. I love sharing my ideas with them. I think the exchange of knowledge is way better than keeping it with ourselves ( when you really click with someone).

Countries I’ve Visited

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, China, Czech Republic, Georgia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Poland, Singapore, Tajikistan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam
