I am a friendly person who like to get to know new people, especially people from other countries and different nationalities. For me the most interesting point is to discover how other people think, them way of being, them culture and habits.

And of course I love to travel, it's my passion and something I can't live without. Not only because you see new places, getting to know new people, but also because traveling gives you much more than all other experience can give, it teaches you much better than all teachers together can teach, and thanks to travels you discover new sides of yourself.

My philosophy: Enjoy life every second. Because everything that Universe sends to us is for our best.
The life is so unpredictable and amazing that even some random person or occasion, as it might seem at first sight, can do/give you much more than you could have thought.

From my own experience I know that everything is possible in this life and all our innermost dreams can come true, the secret is not to leave them just as a dreams, but let ourselves to go and take them, take the life we want

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives a possibility to get to know new people and to make new friends all around the world. And the good point is that you can do it not only while traveling, but also at your home while hosting foreigners that wants to see your country.

Interests

My biggest passion is traveling. I dream about visiting as much places around our beautiful and magnificent world as it possible.

I also like a photography art both to watch pictures and to take them. Especially I'm keen on taking portrait photo.

I like to do a lot of things that deal with art: to paint in oils, to make pottery, to create something new and nice looking but usually impractical, because usually do the things which satisfy and make happy my soul.

I'm interested in sport. Love surfing and snowboarding. I'm also skateboarding/longboarding.

Since recently got interested in philosophy (especially the philosophy of the human soul) and different meditation practices that help to discover yourself and understand this world deeper.

Love animals, pure nature, specially mountains and the power of the ocean.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't pick out only one favorite type/style of music. Basically I like lots of compositions of different styles: Central Asia' national music, especially Kirghiz music. Love classic music. At the same time like System of a down, Nirvana and some Russian rock. Also Eddie Vedder, Eric Clapton, Jason Mraz and a lot of other singers.

With movies it's the same story. There are a lot of, but here is I guess the most favourite ones: Life is beautiful, One flew over the cuckoo's nest, Cloud Atlas, The motorcycle diaries and of course many old russian movies.

Of course I love Russian literature. The most favourite books are "Woe from Wit" by A.Griboyedov, "Master and Margarita" by M.Bulgakov, books of Chingiz Aitmatov. I like foreign literature as well, for instance, "Faust" by Goethe, "Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse, "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Stevenson
