hi travelers and locals!
some of my references refer to me as Yan (or Jan). As you may observe, Lusine isn't a common name in English world and can get mispronounced. I used to introduce myself as Yan to avoid dealing with mispronounciatons. Then I decided to embrace the name my parents gifted me in all its confusing and challenging nature :)

about my house:
can host. apartment building management people are not great. see details in "my home".
I will almost certainly turn down requests to host if you don't have any references / haven't had a reference in years. I understand we all start somewhere and there's nothing wrong with not couchsurfing for a while, and I hope you can understand my hesitance as well. Would be happy to meet up and explore, though!

about me:
I am a software engineer, wandering around. Still unclear where the final destination is.

I believe in freedom and that truthfulness, compassion and courage are virtues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

surfing:
as all of us here, I suppose, I want to know the place close up, learn something from a fellow human, and save some money.

couch-offering:
surfers are a great subset of humans, in general. I'd like to help them out, and learn something from someone.

Interests

I find writing code and fiction very interesting.

One of these days I'll also get confident enough to count healthy eating and a sport as interests, too.

Music, Movies, and Books

music:
виктор цой: кукушка

movie:
the last samurai

book:
anthony burgess: a clockwork orange

there is more to this, of course.
