About Me

I'm a veg. I don't drink (except for beer — I adore good beer!), smoke, or do drugs. Pretty boring.

I'm a poet. I have published five book of poetry so far. Here (http://litradio.by/fanateka/623-gar-kulko.html) you can listen to some of my poems - they are all in Belarusian but still))))

Another hobby of mine is translating from ancient languages (mostly Sanskrit). This is what I do whenever I have free time.

PHILOSOPHY

do what only you can do

HOSTING

If you have chosen me as your host in Minsk, please:

a. Specify the time of your arrival. If your travel by hitch-hiking, say it so that I know you may come at any time.
b. If you're not coming alone, say some words about your co-traveller or give the link to their account on CS.
c. CS is about sharing. Try to explain why you have decided to choose me as your host in Minsk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being an occasional traveller myself, I try to help other travellers and make their stay in my city interesting and comfortable. There is a saying: Treat others as you want to be treated. And CS is a good means to put this principle into action.
