My name is Darya.
I calm and very thoughtful person. I like to listen people, their stories and life. Also I am philosopher, so my thoughts are usually deep.

Traveling is what I want to make part of my life. And this site inspires me to this.
I am also inspired by the beauty of the human mind and all that it can create (architecture, art, technology, literature). And traveling for me is just an opportunity to receive all this inspiration.
I like to read and discuss what I read.
I like to speak with people not on ordinary topics but on the most important for human life.
In the summer I like to ride a bike in the winter on a snowboard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Gandhi used to say " “You must be the change you want to see in the world”
This project is exactly what I would like to see more often in the world.
The very idea of such a human, absolutely anti-capitalist approach I find beautiful and inspiring. When a person, a beauty or an idea is put above utilitarianism, it raises us above our animal nature, making us more human.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Neoclassical, classical, indie-folk, folk.
Cinema: Everything that makes the brain to work. Documental and historical movies. I like the movie ("Arrival", “The Help”, “The Hollow Crown”, “The Imitation Game”, “The Young Pope”, “Game of Thrones”, “The Borgias”, “The White Queen”)
Books: I mostly read philosophy and scientific papers. And, for some inexplicable reason I like Salinger. It is considered that in his works he sought to reflect the ideas of Buddhism. Perhaps this is the reason why I like his works.
