About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see the world and I'm looking for new friends from other countries because we are so different and on the other hand so alike.

ABOUT ME

I'm a hopeless dreamer, inveterate traveler, have windmills in my mind. I can be funny or serious, emotional and illogical, friendly and talkactive... All in one :)
I like traveling and make friends from other countries. I like walking the streets in Moscow, because I love this city, every house in it. I can show many interesting places if someone wants.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live not only for my own sake: there always will be my family, friends and other people who need help. I love children and I'm a volunteer of a charitable organization. I want to live in a better and friendlier world and I think that one man can do enough. Not to change the whole world but at least the life of another human and that would be wonderful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't any experience of Couch-surfing but I would be glad to have some!

Interests

I love all the unusual and funny things, but there are a lot in the world that can touch my heart.
I'm very fond of good music, photos, space, traveling and many other things. I'm a photomaniac and a big cinephile!
I want to learn as many languages as I can to use them during my trips.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's quite difficult to describe it in few words as I love many films and books. I'm listening rock music mostly though I like classic music, jazz or world style. I love Beatles, Evanescence, Muse, Queen, The Killers, Scorpions, U2, Johny Cash.
As for the films I like those which leaves a trace upon me, after which there's a lot of thinking :) For example 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door', 'Dreamland'...

My favorite authors are Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, John R.R. Tolkien, Raymond Feist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've just arrived from Greece, where I'd seen many beautiful ancient buildings. They are breathtaking!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Russian for example, or how to ice-skate or do something by hands. I'm also good at web-design though I don't see how it can be useful to travelers ;)
