Less is more

I have a gut feeling that my generation is the last one that makes a deep sense of the delicate and extremely complex world around us. Last one to get into details. No way back, let's take our time and have some fun on this highway to AI-driven hell.

No instagram, no facebook

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because CS desperately needs us to make it great again. Being a budget traveller and mass-tourism hater myself, I feel the call of duty to support alternative travel styles.

Developed the technology to save millions of $ and cut ktons of CO2 emissions per CDU unit per year
Got born in USSR
Got bitten by poecilotheria metallica

Teach, Learn, Share

Is it really possible to enter the same river for the second time? First of all it depends on how you define the river.
I prefer discussing the ideas, the more abstract they are the better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Expertise in DIY household chemistry and debunking of marketing bullshit like protein-carbohydrate window, premium gasoline, fourth generation antihistamines etc. I know nobody fucking cares about the travel experience and yet another vegetarian recipe.
