ABOUT ME
I'm a living tree. I'm one with nature and I love each day of my life. My life is a dance, not climbing. Often it is non-violent fight with prejudices and boxes that people put their heads in and sometimes it is not simple. I try to keep my mind open but stay by my values. I appreciate good talks as mush as I appreciate the moments of silence.
I bring good tea. Sometimes a bit of mess, sometimes too much of order. I like to do things differently and I do not believe in mainstream.

PHILOSOPHY
From fear to trust.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

wholeheartedly :) I believe couchsurfing is the best way to travel, much better than hotels rooms which are similar in different places and do not tell you about the country, culture and people. I love to meet people. I love to share experiences. Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet open-minded people and make new friends, it is much more important than finding a place to stay. But of course being a guest in a new place is also great bonus. I am usually happy to help with something if I stay in someone's place, it is fun to work together!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a host for a bit and I stayed in different places with many people. That has been always amazing experience and indeed I met great people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes — Music, Books, Movies, :)

I like classic rock, but don't mind to experiment:it can be jazz, or reggae, another time it will be electronic music, trans and whatever experimental. Flows are changing in the world and so do my preferences.
I'm definitely not a fan of mainstream movies, I'd rather go for something weeeird. I like to read as my imagination works better than any movie-maker. Books come to my hands whenever I have spare time, but my to-read, to-watch and to-listen lists are already bigger than my life capacity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things for me are still sunrises and sunsets in different places of the world, and those priceless moments when people open their souls.
There are many moments and things in my memory-box... My life is never boring.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn new things, to do something new with my hands, and I'm constantly informationally thirsty. This is why I like to be a volunteer for different things — to work not for money but for new experiences.
I don't perceive myself as a teacher for something, but I like to share information and skills. It can be something about design, typography or printing, something about the environment and society, it may be Russian (if you are crazy enough to learn it), stories about Kazakhstan (not so many of you have been there, right?)... AndI like more to learn something through practice and let's do it together ;)
