Hi friends, I’m simple and rather short-spoken (but open-hearted) guy and to be frankly more disposed to explore calm or challenging places of nature and wilderness than busy, loud hearts of cities . Anyway I can’t stay long in one place. I'm very fond of walking a lot, at big distances in a good company with pleasant talk. Fond of reading, gaining new knowledge and languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To extend the frontiers of my life and always try something new and different. And to have new friends of course!

Interests

I love to make many day-long solo biking or hiking trips. Also fond of learning new languages and lingvistics in general, determine new (to me) botanical species in new places and to breathe free clear air.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: folk, new age, instrumental in broad sense, amateur singers by guitar. Mike Oldfield, Paul Mauriat, Morricone, J.-M. Jarre, Deep Forest, Крылатов, Дога, Paul Schwartz, Hughes de Courson etc.
Books: I read since I was 1,5 yo, so have read plenty... Very difficult to point out favorites... At a rough guess, Jules Verne, Dumas (père), Кир Булычёв, Леонид Соловьёв (повести о Ходже Насреддине) — наверное, самая любимая книга.

Teach, Learn, Share

Fan of learning foreign languages. And, in general, any kind of new knowledge is greatly appreciated — especially in photography, sports, biology, handicrafts, ... so on!
