CURRENT MISSION

Eco-Tourism

ABOUT ME

I have hosted and stayed with Couch Surfers in Central Asia, Europe and America. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Leninogorsk East Kazakhstan for 2.5 years, and travelled through Europe for a summer. Couch Surfing is a great way to promote international understanding. I like hosting as much as I like knocking on the next surfers door. I strongly believe that Couch Surfing promotes the social interactions that are so important to living a full life.

I like seeing new cities, and also love to see the far out places in this universe. I am a big fan of camping, ecotourism, hiking, alpinism, cross country skiing, trying different types of beer, small farms, and generally staying on the move as much as possible. I take a lot of photographs that i need to upload on couchsurfing.com

PHILOSOPHY

Always ask the right questions - that is my philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

How do I participate in Couch surfing? I had a couch in Leninogorsk Kazakhstan, however I usually took people to the Base Camp.
Since then I have been travelling for a few months, so i like to go to CS events, CS with good people, and generally try to learn as much as possible. I love the idea and spirit of couch surfing.
Now that I am in the States I offer a place and a meal.
