About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Now we are two: Jaroslav (Slava) and Danica (Dani)
We are about to explore the world, living our dreams and pursuing our plans. It might sound kind of pathetic, understand it as you wish. Currently in Kyiv, Ukraine. Soon in Armenia and then in European Union, inshallah.

I like when Couchsurfers first read the profile and then decide to ask for a couch or meet up. So in your request please type a secret keyword "mutabor". See you in Goa or somewhere in our lovely planet Earth :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hm... Untill I have a place to stay, I am thankfull to people, who support me offering a couch. I want to go on this tradition and offer you a couch in my living room.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Just positive. Maybe I am just lucky to meet so many friendly and open people on my way! By the way, donations to support CS was a great idea!

Interests

I love to learn and to create.
I love to meet (also unknown) people.
I love to sleep under the stars.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The current "Looking for my dream-country to stay" trip - is the most unusual journey I have ever done. I cancelled my flat in Berlin, booked one-way ticket (not to the moon, but) to Delhi. Then my journey got me to Katmandu. I was lucky to get back to India befor that Corona thing happened.
I am curious and excited how things will be going on - here is my travel blog in pictures: https://instagram.com/yar.plotnikov/ - that was 2014-2015.

Before Goa I ve been staying in Devbag, villiage Just 60 km away from my current place:
