Hi, my name is Daniil (Danil, Danya, Daniel, Dani, whatever) and now I am living as exchange student in Finland. I used to work as a Java-developer for three years in my home city and everthing went well, but about 8 months ago I suddenly realized that I am too young to settle down:) So, now I am a jobless, but the happiest guy in the world facing new challenges and getting new expirience every day.

I always liked traveling (by car, by bycicle, by public transport, kayaking), but mountains is my passion! Amazing places around forces me to always take my camera with me, so sometimes I am a bit enjoyable by photography.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me couchsurfing is a concentrate of the amazing people. I with my flatmate already hosted 9 people from different countries and all of them were the most interesting people I ever met. Painters, musicians, churchmen, travelers - all of them has such unordinar life expiriens and attitude, that even one evening spent with them inspires and charges me by energy for the whole week or even more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading, but it is hard to explain what type of books is my favorite one. Now I am reading a book of Yuval Noah Harari - "Homodeus - a brief history of tomorrow" and before it - Mahatma Gandhi - "The Story of My Experiments with Truth", but sometimes I read books about alpinists or even fantasy and detectives. Usually it works in the way: "Hey, have you read ...?" and I am starting to read it or at least put it in the list (All of us has long lists of books to read, isn't it?:))
Mostly I am listening some young russian bands or bard songs because of the lyrics or absolutely any kind of music ( Sometimes the whole song could be sucks, but specific sounds or the quality could be such amaizing that I'll listen it alot of times), but recently I fell in love with the Pink Floyd
I am not really into films, because you need alot of time to watch (and rewatch) them carefully to get all the signs and ideas, but I love Captain Fantastic, I Origins, Cloud Atlas
