Hello! My name is Alexander. I come from a small but ancient town in the north of Belarus. After graduating from college, I worked in forestry for a long time in various parts of Belarus. I lived an ordinary, calm and measured life. However, after 25 years, I decided to change my life dramatically. I quit my job to start traveling the world. These were mostly budget trips by hitchhiking with an overnight stay in a tent or couchsurfing. From 2015 to 2019, I managed to visit about 50 countries. After 2019, due to the pandemic, events in my native Belarus and then in Ukraine, I had to forget about traveling a little. During this time, I managed to live and work as a baker and picker in a warehouse in Poland, as a poultry farm worker in the Netherlands, as a harvester in the UK, Finland, Poland. Circumstances developed that I have now returned to my homeland. The desire to travel, as well as to meet and communicate with different people, has not disappeared. Therefore, I will be very glad to meet interesting, versatile people.

P.S. I apologize for my English. It is not very good, I did not study it at school. When traveling, I try to communicate, but my level is barely up to A1. Therefore, I often use Google Translate.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I really love communicating with interesting and versatile people who have something to tell. I also like to study the culture and life of people from different countries and, of course, share my knowledge and interesting stories. I can tell a lot about the culture and interesting places in Belarus.

兴趣

In general, I am quite an adventurous person. I like free travel, most often hitchhiking. I am also interested in tourism. I go on mountain and bicycle trips. I like to study the culture, economy and the current state of affairs in different countries of the world. Sometimes, like many people, I like to spend time quietly at home with a cup of coffee and watching an interesting film.

音乐、电影和书籍

In general, I am a music lover and can listen to absolutely different music from hard rock to pop music. 😊 It is also very interesting to study music in general and musical preferences in different countries of the world. My playlist contains a lot of music from Poland in the style of disco polo, Turkish, Finnish rock. I am also interested in Celtic music. I can also watch absolutely different films, depending on my mood. I really like watching documentaries about the formation of different countries of the world, their economies and development.

I read mostly scientific literature. In fiction, I prefer Belarusian writers, such as Vasil Bykov, Svetlana Alexievichb

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

During the trip I got acquainted with interesting and amazing people, including with the help of the CS)))

And of course it is always interesting to exchange knowledge and experience if there are common interests)))I can share my experience and knowledge about the countries I have visited, their culture and way of life.
