About Me

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy trying to feel how a place, that I'm located in, lives. I travel a lot to see and feel as much as possible of the place I'm visiting. Interested in the cities as a phenomenon of human life a lot: how do they evolve, grow and fade away. What are the dangerous places in the cities and why, how is the separation and exclusion happening and everything of that kind.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to make my city which is a huge mess that swallows everyone ruthlessly to be a little bit more charming those chosen it to be their tourist destination. And I just want to help those in need somehow.

Music, Movies, and Books

At some point I started exploring basically any music that is out there: starting from Ethiopian singer Mahmoud Ahmed to US based sludge-metal band Windhand, Italian art-rock act Premiata Forneria Marcone to Uruguayan rock bands, jazz, classic, hip-hop, cold ambient it really doesn't matter anymore)
Simply put, I love music a lot and in any forms!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been in russian army for a month - quite a mind-blowing experience. And the mountains of Pamir, for sure!
