About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just registered )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. Looking forward to it.

Interests

I like going to music gigs, mostly rock and blues.
I am a big fan of football, prefer watching it in the stadium rather than on the TV.

Love playing billiard (pool) and trying to learn some padel (racket sport popular in Spain & Latin America) at the moment.

Reading is one thing I do less than I'd like to, but I enjoy every moment spent with a book.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ouch, that's a difficult one, always changing no?

Books - more into Russian authors (Gogol being the favourite one), but recently reading some Spanish literature and British contemporary novellists (Welsh, Garland, King).

Music - rock (now less hard than before) and blues. Sometimes, classics.

Movies - not a huge fan, to be honest. But some easy-going films, e.g. a good old Western like "The good, the bad, the ugly", or Kusturica's "Black cat, White cat", or heist movie such as "Lock, stock and two smoking barrels" - are always enjoyable )
Also really love some Soviet movies, pity, they are not well-known in other countries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing were some beautiful nature spots I had the chance to see, like snow-clad peaks in Caucasus mountains, lifeless volcanic plain around Teide, 120m deep canyon in Ronda and so forth. Thus it comes as no surprise that I was extremely impressed with Gaudi's architecture and his ability to draw inspiration from natural forms.
