///NB! My place is not in Tetouan itself, but in 20km to the north (around 50-30 minutes on bus/taxi). The name of the place is MARINA SMIR, you can easily find it on google or mapsme///

I write prose and some articles (https://t.me/shelobey), play guitar (https://youtube.com/@atomchrist228) teach russian literature and of course travel.

Most of the time I'm on the road, but when I settle for some time I glad to host you, guys. I used to stay in Thailand for a couple of months (to write my novel and album, but still have lots of work) and now I'm staying in the north of Morocco, in 20km from Tétouan. Yea, in a cause - I'm vegetarian, but I'm completely okay with non-veg guests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is one of the best ways to know other culture from the inside and to avoid that trails of touristic-entertainment-and-so-on (same as hitchike). It is also a good way to meet the people (I met few really close friends via CS). Besides, so many people from CS was so kind to help me, that I would love to pay it back.
