About Me

2023 is my anniversary year of being the Couchsurfer for 10 years already. Sometimes I call this platform as "a friend for rent" :) This community gave me so many opportunities long time ago when I started to explore our world on budget and I've found good friends so we're still talking and meeting around the world 🌍

I can't say I belong to any country. I was born in Siberia and lived there till 21y.o, then I took my backpack and left for good to work and travel abroad, I was coming back sometimes to visit my family but I wasn't same person anymore: I opened my eyes to this world and understood that people are the same everywhere: if you bring good - you'll get good, my mindset changed more than before.

Now I'm in a search of 'my place', the base where I can stay and consider it as 'home' at least for a while, not like during 10y "my home is where my suitcase is". So recently in the beginning of summer I've been back to Georgia to stay here approximately till the end of Autumn. I can finally call this place home for now :)

I lost connection with my country since recent events (but not with my motherland) so I wish to struggle with any circumstances while I'm able and help the same lost souls to find their way.

Maybe you meant to appear on my way to change smth too?

*Unfortunately CS community changed not to the good side... Due to plenty of spam/copy paste/weirdoes, please make me feel you've read the info and have imagination about my personality then start your message with a secret phrase you can find in here down below - then I'll reply probably, if your profile doesn't look weird/empty for me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jump naked into the snow and frozen icy river after the hot sauna in -30 C°. Will you dare to try?🙌🏽
