CURRENT MISSION

Become a good international journalist, spread the truth to the people of my country to make it better.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very open-minded person, always ready for new meetings. I love learning other languages and cultures. I also love cooking, so you can receive me as a couchsurfer and i'll cook something from russian, italian of spanish cuisines=)

PHILOSOPHY

Life - is a journey. You have to move forward, because there are only two things you will regret about in the end - that you travelled and loved someone for too little.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We neverminded to stay at any hostel or hotel before I found couchsurfing. I think it's not about just sharing a living space, it's about people from different countries (or even cities) ready to share their experience.
We'll definitely try to couch someone before we do it as well. Just to feel the spirit, I guess.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

unfortunately i don't have any couchsurfing experience, but I know people who do and shared their emotions with me. I want to try it as well!

Interests

I love to travel by car with my friend, go tracking, riding a bicycle and I also into running pretty long distances, like 10k. I like meeting new people and talk to them (usually i get on with people very well!)

• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a great fan of cinema. I prefer art-house directors like Lars von Trien, Andrey Tarkovsky (probably the favorite one), Federico Fellini and Bernardo Bertolucci (I deeply in love with Italian cinema s well), Pedro Almodovar (I just love everything connected to spanish) and many many others.

I like different music, including rock, classical one, sometimes pop (but good quality pop, not Lady Gaga), dance music for running...it depends on the state of mood and circumstances.

I love to read as well and prefer Latin-American literature (as Garbriel Garcia Maques, Mario Vargas Llosa) and modernist (like James Joyce, Virginia Wolf, William Folkner and so on). I'm also a great fan of Leo Tolstoy and many other russian writers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last autumn we've been travelling to a jazz-festival in the Ukraine (Crimea, to be honest) and i've been driving for 20 hours in the row, in the mountains, with magnificent landscapes) I think i've never been sooo tired in my life.
And the second thing was going to London from Manchester by train and listening to P.J. Harvey's new album. It greatly suits! Next day I went to her concert.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach how to cook smt from my native cuisine or tell anything about russian literature. Or Andrey Tarkovsky or bore you with modernism and postmodernism talks))
