CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, to try and understand it, myself and others. And to become a famous poet and musician. ;)

ABOUT ME

I am a romantic and humane person. A poet and a bit a musician. :)
In fact, when I started filling this field in, I wrote my philosophy here. And then moved further and saw. :)))
So, to have a better idea of me, see philosophy. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I do love people and always try to understand them, even if they seem strange or unfriendly. And in the end we almost always get on well. :)
I do love music and literature and want to devote my life to them. It's really worth doing, because through art we get to understand each other and ourselves. And this in turn makes us happy. :)
The fast-paced modern world pushes us to superficial approach to everything from the books we read to the relationships with others. But that's not right. This makes us feel lonely and unhappy. I think we should look deeper, and we'll see the sense of life! :)
Hope I don't sound too pretentious. This is just my life philosophy in a nutshell. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I tell my friends about the site and the opportunities it provides us with.

Interests

Communication! Travelling. Cultures and languages.
Art: music, literature, fine art, cinematography etc.
History, scientific discoveries.
In fact, almost everything around. :)))
I think it's impossible to find a person, or a thing which would be uninteresting for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Let me be pedantic, not to be chaotic. MUSIC: 1) CLASSICS, especially choir music (Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Lotti, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, Faure, Dvorak, Chopin, Glinka, Borodin, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich and others);
2)ROCK (Queen, The Beatles, Aerosmith, Elvis, Scorpions, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Corrs, The Rasmus, DDT, Zemfira and so on and so forth);
3)JAZZ (Armstrong, Jobim, Jazzamor, Take 6 ...).
+ Quality pop such as Elton John, Sting (if we label them this way) A-ha, Michael Jackson, Matia Bazar, Boney M...
I love folk music as well. It really reflects the soul of each nation.
I can enumerate my musical preferences VERY long, 'cause I'm both open-minded and fond of this art. :)
BOOKS: again classics, but here I know Russian classic literature well, what I can't say (pardon my ignorance) about world literature. My absolute favourites are Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Kuprin, Mayakovsky. Among the few things I've read of the world literature Shakespeare, Blake, Verne, Bradbury, Voynich, Gashek, Remarque, Orwell were the best. :)
3) Movies. Hitchcock, Fellini, Woody Allen. Soviet films (there's been a plenty of good one's e.g. by Gaidai). All films that have plot, true-to-life performance, good director's work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Composing a song or writing a poem are extremely amazing! I'm glad I experience it.
Falling in love is even a more amazing thing! :)
