Hi! My name is Vlad and I've been living in Turkey, Alanya since November 2021. I'm a freelance English teacher, so I'm really into learning foreign languages. Also, I thoroughly enjoy singing. Mariah Carey (the one who sings ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU) is my favorite artist. Plus, I’m into meditation and spiritual mindfulness stuff and have been VEGAN for 4+ years (we can cook falafel together ahah)! Solo traveler in Turkey=).
I'm pretty talkative and open-minded!

But to live doesn’t mean you’re alive” (c)Nicki Minaj

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I LOVE talking to people, so getting to know someone from a completely different country is on my list! I want to make meaningful connections and really go deeper into the culture. Plus couch surfing for me is a lot more about exchanging and I love that
