I'm student of Kazan Federal University, Chemistry department.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to explore a new place, city or country is to get acquainted with it's resident, as he is the only person that can show you the real, non-tourist sights of the city – lost and forgotten among the other popular tourist destinations. I'm on CS to build new bridges, to get acknowledged with Your Culture and to share Mine.

– Travelling
– Studying foreign languages (as through the language comes the understanding)

Music, Movies, and Books

Like to listen to instrumental music, Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen, Pierre van Dormael, Philip Glass and Hans Zimmer are my most favorite composers.
Alternative and Indie music seems to match me the best.
Love dramas, want movies to make me eager to discuss them. I enjoy watching movies about social problems (The Help, A single Man), hard family and friends relations (Prayers for Bobby, The Hours) and people, influenced by politics (The Dreamers, Good bye Lenin!).
And, of course, I adore movies about noble cooks and amazing food (Julie & Julia, The Hundred-Foot Journey, Toast).
Wow, I can't stop thinking about my favorite films now!
Like to read books – and prefer contradictory books to simple ones. "The Forsyte Saga" by J.Galsworthy is the best example of a book I can fall in love with. Can read "Gone with the Wind" and "The Thorn Birds" over and over again.
Ayn Rand is my favorite author. Consider her books to be real jewels and natural masterpieces.
