Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Surf and participate in community's meetings, meet travellers.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Surfed some couches while hitch-hiking from Kazan to Altay and back.
Interests
Learning, feeling! World is my interest. And people around, human cultures (languages, traditions, religions, arts), social and applied sciences (history, economic theory, sociology, psychology; architecture, engineering). Also learning crafts, skills, professions. Hitchhiking and hiking. Listening others, trying to understand.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like different music, movies and books. Not a fan of some specific genres, just watch, listen or read what seems interesting to me.
I love Adventure time! Most recently I watched and liked Barfuss, Im Juli, Ostrov, Knockin on Heavens Door, Neadekvatniye Lyudi. I like Vse budet horosho, Seven Samurai, Six-string samurai, movies by/with Takeshi Kitano. I also used to watch anime. Great Teacher Onizuka is the best!
My favorite music groups are Dom Kukol (Kazan/Moscow, Russia) and Fleur (Odessa, Ukrain).
Last book I read was Dostoyevskiy's Karamazov Brothers. My favorites are Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupery and Rudin by Ivan Turgenev.
