About Me

A friendly sociable easy-going guy from Belarus, who travels around the world.
Currently doing my PhD in Orladno, FL.
Love to meet new people, learn culture, history, languages, and make new friends

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing experience! I love meeting new people while travelling around.

Interests

I am a political scientist, so the core of my interests consists of a variety of stuff with prefixes "international" and "security" :)

Aside from that I am in love with different cultures, travelling, and socializing with people. History, art, music, are among things I enjoy a great deal. I love books, a bit of write myself a lil bit. Telling stories is also my favorite hobby: I've gathered my fair share of them for the five years of travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stuck in Istanbul for two nights with no money and got out of the city having about 20 euro after it :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Oh, I don't know. Languages? would love to learn a new one and teach you the ones I know.
I also have great affinity for musical instruments and would like to learn how to play at least one of them
Then come dances. Fell in love with Sertaki when was in Cyprus. During my time in Florida realized it is impossible to outdance a Puerto-Rican in salsa or flamenco! Now I want to fill this gap in my education as well.
Finally, there is Belarus. While travelling, I realized people often know little about my country except widespread stereotypes. So I would be glad to tell you everything you wanted to know about my home, if anything :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

stories, jokes, languages, snacks, tea, some home souvenirs, and my humble company in general
