I am Russian now living in France,I would say I am a positive person trying to enjoy every moment of life Im a Graphig Designer and creative person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to visit new countries but especially new ways to live, to see life, and to apprehend others. I believe that according to his energy and his way of being, we attract people who resemble us. Those who carry the joy of living and simplicity in my case. I am still very lucky to travel and I intend to discover little by little the world

Interests

I'm really interested in whats going on in the world. Whether that be by talking to people, watching the news or reading, i just like to know what's going on.
I spend a lot of time outside, socialising with friends. I enjoy a beer or two and love nothing more than a casual Sunday sesh with friends to catch up on the weekend's antics. I love having lazy days too just hanging out with friends in a park, at the beach or by a river. Anything that involves sun and water I am happy doing. I would love to be able to follow the sun all year round and wish every night could be of the balmy summer variety where you can sit outside in a singlet and shorts until the all hours.
I also like being pushed outside of my comfort zone and am a big fan of solo travel. I think you meet a hell of a lot more people that way, simply because without any of your friends around, you have to. I seriously think everyone should travel by themselves at some point in their lives!
I do love to read and the feeling of getting lost in a good book! Same goes for movies - i love getting immersed in a really good movie! My favourite of all time is probably the Shawshank Redemption, but anything with Leonardo Di Caprio in it I like too...or Will Ferrell. I'm all for thrillers, dramas and comedies. The only genre I'm not the biggest fan of is action.
I also love learning about things from the past - history. I can easily get lost in histotical museums for hours and any exhibitions about the world wars I find fascinating.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite books seem to be either novels set around big historical events or anything with a good twist (which you usually find in crime novels). My all time favourite is probably The Bronze Horseman, it has everything i like in a novel - love, war and tradegy. I also really like crime fiction, The Whisperer is a favourite, but I do get scared easily so often have to read them in daylight!
With movies I like a whole range of genres! Anything other than action and I'm happy. I was going to say I don't really like superhero movies, but i did see the last Batman and really liked it, so that statement wouldnt be completely true. Will Ferrell movies always go down well. It just depends on the mood I'm in whether I want a serious drama or a hilarious comedy. I have a weird relationship with horror movies. I like watching them at the time cause they can really keep you on the edge of your seat, but afterwards, when I can't sleep, I always wonder why I watched one.
And as for music...my taste can be very broad. I often like songs but have no idea who sings them so I'm not good at pulling names on cue! But I like anything thats relaxing and chilled, whether that be the tallest man on earth, xavier rudd, florence and the machines, edward sharpe, paul simon...

Teach, Learn, Share

I get awestruck whenever I get to see something with my own two eyes that I've always only heard about or seen pictures of. Like the Collosseum or the Berlin Wall. Or when you see a natural environment that seems so amazing it must be fake! There's a salt-water lake in Croatia (I can't remember the name of it), but it is SO blue and SO clear that it seems like something you can only dream of!
