Heya!

Here's an (incomplete) list of things I love:
- playing guitar and singing to myself and thinking nobody should ever hear this
- speak English pretending I'm a really good speaker and forgetting even simplest words
- dance and teach contact improvisation. Love doing this a lot
- actually teach anything I can do. Because I'm cheeky enough to believe I can teach someone
- fix simple house issues like leaking water, broken furniture or so (no guarantee!)
- programming. That's what I do for living for last 15+ years, and for some reason I still keep loving it
- gestalt and existential psychotherapy and related philosophy. I love things being said and written by Irvin Yalom and Alfrid Lengle.
- reading books. Both something new and re-reading classics. Every time I read "Little prince" I discover something new in it.
- arguing about any topics you can think of, except politics. Politics is a shitty topic and there's no way you can change my mind
- meeting new wonderful people living in this big beautiful world. Mostly in bars and when traveling
- meditation. I'm just learning to do it, and I do it in a very simple way. But every time I finish it, it's such a magical relieve!
- long distance running. Even ran a full-size 42.2 km marathon once

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's a great way to meet new people and I love meeting new people a lot.
It's also a great way to see how other people live and I love being to other people's places.
And let's be frank, last, but not least, staying at someone's home is much cheaper and much more fun than staying at a hotel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's actually an amazing thing that I had an opportunity to participate in - volunteering for old houses renewal festival in the historical center of Samara city. There were so many kind people giving away their time and doing good for the city and people in those houses, it was just amazing.
