I'm a passionate entrepreneur and tourism enthusiasist. Coming out of the breakout of the Soviet Union I got into tourism wishing to share Uzbekistan with the larger world. I have travelled a lot myself: backpacking alone, visiting conferences or friends and going together with my wife Dina and two kids. I love authentic cultral experiences and really appreciate interacting with locals to get an insightful view of the country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to find exciting new people that we can exchange experiences with.

Interests

My hobbies are intrinsically tied to my passion for tourism. Growing up in the mountains, I developed an appreciation of nature resulting in bird photography and biking. Travelling in India has gotten me to yoga and the idea of Buddhism. Aikido and Kaidzen are results of internship in Japan. I also join international networks to expand my horizons and meet different people.
