Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never had one before, but many of my friends have and keep telling me amazing things. I am realy looking forward to have my first experience.

Interests

I love discovering new people and places. I am hyperactive and I hate routines, so I constantly need to be trying new things. However, I also enjoy having a relaxed afternoon at home, if I have good people around.
Whenever I travel I hate feeling like a tourist, so I do my best to try going to the places only local people go to, and it is one of the things I hope to exploit through CS.
Huge sauna lover, especially Russian-style banja; but any Thermen, SPA, steam room, hammam will do...
If we go dancing or for karaoke, I always pick the worst hits ever (hehe).
I like acoustic concerts in small pubs.

[Ah, yeah, and I confess that I also like some of the Soviet cartoons]

Camus, Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Ionesco.

5'nizza, folk music, Celtic music, bossa nova, anything related to the Civil Rights movement (gospel, Nina Simone,... ). Shitty flute (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHMmLi8z1HbyhTEvfBgXpyg)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling (and living) for 8 months through remote villages in Belarus recording stories and trying to create a grammar.
Doing fieldwork in very remote villages of the Caucasus.
Visiting the Himalayas in India
Traveling in the metro in Moscow during rush hour (and not dying!)
Watching a ballet in Champs Elysées.
Following orcas which accidentally got into the Seattle bay, in a tiny yacht.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really excited to learn about your language and culture. I would be happy to learn at least a few sentences in your mother tongue(s).
I would definitely enjoy listening to your travel adventures if you want to share any.
