I love traveling, trying and learning new things, hiking, interesting conversations (on any topic: from dystopian/utopian future scenarios to art), cooking and eating out, spending hours in museums of modern art, skiing, reading, spontaneous events, festival films, old music, and so much more.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” (с) Hunter S. Thompson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
