About Me

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Minsk, I spent my childhood in Novosibirsk and in the mountains close to this city - Altai krai. It is located in the south-east of Western Siberia, Russia. I am/was a musician (drums and vocal) and an artist (drawing grafik design). I took part in the construction of rock-festival 'Kubana' in Russia. Also I worked as a volunteer in Poland for a long time and in Germany. So this years of searching, being a part of social movement, I made a choice. It takes a really long time to find myself and to build myself. Trying to be the best me I follow my voice. My creativity mind don’t give up. I’m active, sometimes I am trying to make everything perfect but it doesn’t works sometimes.
Dreaming about mountain biking.
Moved on to live for more. Current location - Minsk, BY

PHILOSOPHY

"No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up".

... But you have to choose: live or tell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After having a night in the streets of Paris, when police kicked us out from the railway station Gare du Nord, we'r sorry about our stupidity of not thinking about couchsurfing.org

Ok, now more seriously.

Finding people close to my philosophy, life ideas. I always make discoveries, always stay on a way of exploring during my trips (places, people and myself from the other sides).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Europe.

Interests

I have a fascination for city architecture, city building and design. I have the interest in people’s stories, at the same time I am a storyteller: I want, I can, I share my experience, my thoughts and everything I’ve ever seen and heard. I want to be listened, I want to listen. I am pursuing my ‘reall ME’ and I am on the way of building myself. After long time being a volunteer and another projects I was involved in, I am now on the way of working about what I am passionate. Arts, media, law, social ideas/issues. To find another perspectives and other possibilities to communicate with a world. To have a passionate. And trying to be not ‘burned-out’.
In love with travelling, learning languages, adventurous people, good books and movies. Rum drinker. Oh, yeeees, I'm under the impression of Andy Warhol & Factory People.
