About Me

What can i say besides what is mentioned further? I've got rather big hichhiking and couchserfing experience. I've been traveling with my wife; we had two big trips, each one lasting for a mounth - Moscow - Paris and Moscow - Rome. Summary we traveled more then 10000 kilometers by hiking. Also we had some rather distant journeys in Russia and Crimea by car. So i suppose that i can tell something interesting about it.
I've graduated from the University aiming to become an archaeologist, but i got disappointed in russian science. I've changed my interests and started to study philosophy, so now i prepare to apply to Tartu University and get a magister degree.
Now i work in the historical archive, but i hade an interesting experience of working as a watch-repairer, so maybe i can repair your watch a little bit :)
Anyway, I'm rather nice and I hope that I will not trouble you. I smoke, but of cource i will not smoke where you don't allow to :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and exchange with knowleges, oppinions, emotions. It's the best way to travel, to know the real country from the inside. This altruistic initiative has a spirit of real, non-political, free communism. It's the way to overcome the common estrangement, a way to get new friends and a real living experience.
Previosly we were using my wife's account on couchserfing, because we travelled only together, but now i have to travel alone, so I made my own profile.

Interests

Actually, i am really open for new knowleges and expirience. I'm interested in different points of view and perceptions of the world. My current interest is postmodern riot culture - I'm preparing an article on this subject, based on Subcomandante Marcos and french suburban riots. Besides the sience, i really like to see new cities and surroundings. And to meet new interesting people, of cource :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different kinds of music; mostly rock and country. Also I'm found of french musicals like Notre-Dame de Paris :)
In cinema i prefere detective series, some criminal stuff like Tarantino, but actually I watch very various movies.
I read a lot, but nowadays it's nearly always some philosophical and political works.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled through nearly all Europe with my wife by hichhiking (two monthes). Also i had a strange and dangerous expirience of driving a car for more then 30 hours without any rest, drinking 3 liters of red bull.
