~~~ ABOUT ME ~~~
Located in Phnom Penh right now. *soon to be updated

I have been in tourism and hospitality since my childhood so CouchSurfing as a guest or a host was easy and enjoyale for me for already 16 years. I am grateful to my Russian brother Dmitry Svenkov for introducing me with Cs who passed away and left me alone in this world. (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/dims) I love you man.

In overall, I love to go out, meet friends, enjoy-drink-chat-dance-eat-have FUN :)

BUT

If you send requests without reading my profile and especially with copy+paste messages, expect to be ignored, I am not a hotel after all. Also I don't host anyone with no reference,

HOSTING

But if You Wanna Be Hosted, PLEASE READ COUCH RULES b4 sending a request.

Thank you for your time..

~~~ REFERENCES ~~~

As an old member, I have lots of positive references from wonderful friends from all over the world, but also
I got 3 negative refs. It was my fault to give them a chance for staying with me. They were all people without refs, or experience about Cs. So I have my lessons now. It is up to you how to think about me. You can simply have a look at other 100 positive references from all over the world that I don't choose or judge people because of gender or nationality.

There are always rotten ones in a fruit basket, so it is up to you about what to think or believe about me.

I just hope my future guests will not have prejudgement and be cool. Because I didn't deserve those 3 bloody refs, those people were rude, they used me and took advantage of my house and location. And I Swear to Allah, I never harassed anyone. I have Cs friends who have witnessed everything, I got proof, but I can't complain anywhere, nobody will help..So as I said, it is upto you what to decide. For Male or Female, my house is totally safe.

Interests

Online: I play PubG almost everyday, my ID is 5341107635 if you wanna play with me..

Music:
I like to listen variety of music, from Pink Floyd to Metallica, Sade to Dj Tiesto, I got 3 TB music, all ranges.. But I am mostly into trance music..

Puzzles:
I have been doing jigsaw puzzles since I was a kid, thanks to my mom who provided me great skills, in my life and in the puzzle world..I do very often, but more I buy, more I do, and it becomes an obsession then addiction applies, coz I love it so much :)

1.000 pieces take only half a day to complete, but I would prefer to enjoy every small peace of it, so I buy bigger numbers of pieces, 3.000 mostly.

The biggest one I made was 4.000 pieces and took 3 and a half months to complete.

Diving: It is my biggest hobby which I do so often, sometimes I go for a simple swim, sometimes for exploring the beauty of underwater world..

That's all for now :)
