About Me

I am a searcher. A searcher of myself and of my way. So I am in a journey. In a wonderful journey full of pure life with its all colors, dark and light ones.
The last several years i'm traveling a lot. I travel not to see the places, but to see people and to share our mutual interest in psychology (dancetherapy), contact improvisation, butoh, performance and poetry in movement.

I dont drink, smoke and eat meet and about 10 years ago it was difficult for me to find like-minded art community. Time'd changed so much that now healthy lifesyle and developing art treats of oneself is so popular that became kind of mainstream. And I'm glad to get connected to more and more people with different background, culture, age and be on the same vibe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the last 6 years I hosted people who came within the international contact improvisation community to Kazan. Now I decided to get wider-minded and to communicate with more different people within my wider DNA of interests))

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you

What I Can Share with Hosts

Guys, I have a small apartment and I host only women.
So with the dearest womanhood
I can share my silence, both in talks and in keeping silent. I have an ability to make a good tea even out of tea bags - may be it is because of the good shared company) I am smiley, life loving and good mooded (last one is not 100% of lifetime of course).
