My activity is closely connected to the sphere of arts and education. It gives me a fantastic opportunity to communicate with a lot of people from all around the world. Some projects I do as an independent curator (great challenge), some for international festivals, e.g. Irish Week festival in Moscow.
I have Phd in philosophy of art, which means that all jokes about doctors of philosophy are about me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do not like hotels, they remind me of an aquarium: you travel somewhere for real but living in a hotel does not give you the whole experience. CS is fantastic because you meet the locals and learn about their culture, not from an old boring textbook (like a hotel). Plus, you can share your experience from being in a lot of places and make new friends. For me, CS is about all that stuff.
