About Me

Quite a calm, introverted person, who would prefer to have a deep talk or have a nice long walk rather than party or take part in other social activities.

When I have a spare time, I prefer to read books or play music.
I am an amateur musician, and I play Irish Bouzouki. Or octave mandolin, if you prefer to call it that way.

A good side of my introversion is that books, I read, are full of interesting things and ideas, and I like to share them. :) As well, as I like to learn something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting nice people is quite fascinating, even if you're not a party person, isn't it? :)
Also, it always gives you a chance to learn something.

Interests

Well... Literature, music, psychology and so on. That's in general. When I was working on my scientific works, they were about text comprehension. Quite an unpopular field, but still interesting, as for me.

But in fact, I'm really interested in stories, a person can tell me, because every person you meet have a lot of stories, you can't even imagine, and I really appreciate, when people share these stories with me. Sometimes I can give an advice or share my opinion on this or that, but I'm not some kind of guru, so I can't say, it would help to understand something new. But who knows?
