Hi! I'm a queer activist from Minsk, Belarus (yes, it's as difficult as it sounds). I'm pretty chill and have learned not to argue about feminism with people so I promise to not be annoying even if we don't have similar opinions on life and politics! (obviously joking =)
Actually, I love meeting people who are very different from me - I believe that variety is one of the most beautiful things in the world and I want to experience as much of it as I can in conversation, traveling and etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I very much believe the moto "Sharing is caring". There's something very beautiful about meeting people from all over the world, opening up and connecting with them.
I love traveling and meeting new people and experiencing new emotions. I believe that traveling is not just about going from point A to point B or checking out sights from your list, it's about experiencing a culture which is different from your own and making meaningful connections with people around the world.

Interests

Art, Jewish and Scandinavian culture, languages and linguistics, philosophy, drag queens.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge art lover and will be glad if you recommend me some galleries in your town.
I love different music and also love learning about music history. I listen to everything and love going to concerts.
I love love films, but since linking my imdb here would be obnoxious some of my favourite directors are Eric Romero, Tarkovsky, Felini and Maren Ade.
As to TV-shows, Twin Peaks is the best series ever existed. Period.
Books: Boris Vian, Kamu, Virginia Wolf, Tomas Pynchon. I mostly read literary fiction and philosophy works, but I also own a small collection of comic books.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basic words from languages I know or vegetarian recipes. I'm also great at karaoke.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Will be happy to host you anytime in Belarus, if anyone wants to come =)
