ABOUT ME

Thoughtful, somewhat reserved. I want to see things and visit places, engage with people and remember many days after.

PHILOSOPHY

Alice might scold me: "I think you might do something better with the time, than waste it in asking riddles that have no answers"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

How can one know a place without meeting its people?

Interests

I love literature. I would love to talk to anyone about 19th century Russian literature or Japanese Noh drama. I also write poetry and short stories. I like to walk and think.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play a lot of cards and I have even made up a few games. I would be happy to teach people new games that they can share with their friends and family. Personally, I am trying to learn Japanese and would love any chance to practise or any guidance.
