About Me

I adore music. Playing and singing are an inseparable part of my life, as well as writing. I love literature, and get inspired with poetry. Will be happy to show you around the city of Yerevan and many other parts of Armenia. I would also be glad to host 1-2 people at my apartment in the center of the city.

I am on Couchsurfing primarily to exchange culture, meet interesting and curious travelers, share life experiences and learn, learn, learn. Looking for passionate people, let's fight indifference together!

Great community of travellers who has got not only great stories in their pocket but also the key to understanding their cultures. Sharing is caring, I really like the idea of travelers giving each other a hand.
