About Me

I am 25 and still searching for something special to be a part of. Little bit nerdy, got crazy dreams(always ready to share), love to sing along and dance on a beach in the pale moolight after a bottle of wine. Or beer. Beer is cool. Music, animals, instruments, hovercrafts, the Space, travelling, colouring books, teeny-tiny models of big things, nature as phenomenon, limerics and the concept of humanism are pretty cool too. Call me Al, like that american comic/musician - Weird Al Yankovic. Who also is god damn cool!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Usually I am very shy introvert, shadowing the streets of Saint-P. But I want to learn how to be more open to new people and new experiences, so I solenmly swear to leave my dark corner and walk to the light of fun and communication!

Interests

I would like to go around the whole world, maybe open a cat shelter, discover a completely new way of storing power, withess and participate in a interstellar mission, write dozen of songs that will become famous and at least three books (illustrated by me as well), shake hands with Stephen Fry and ride a blue whale(killer whale will do too).

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Alt-j, Dead Can Dance, Sigur Ros, The Knife, Fever Ray, Apparat/Moderat, U2, ERB, Bjork, Die Antwoord, Faithless, Phantogram, Keaton Henson etc.
Basically, my favorite genres are science fiction and fantasy, esp so -called classics, like LOTR, HP, GOT, Lovecraft, Pratchett, Lem and so on. And I am keen to read something new, even it it not from my usual book-list. So, if you want to have a long late-night conversation about your favourite books and films, I will be over the moon to join.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you want a small souvenir from Russia of some kind - just ask me, I will do my best to get it for you. The same goes to the cooking amazing dinners and refreshing breakfasts, knitting socks and mittens, singing local songs a Capella and joining me in drink-like-a-russian holiday marathon :-)
