About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see and learn as much as possible!

ABOUT ME

Friendly adventurer. Cheerful and very patient person. Open for new things!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still working on it. I think that every person updates own philosophy during the life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Barcelona with 2 couchserfers.
I stayed in Paris at couchsurfer's place.
I also participate in local CS meetings from time to time.

Interests

I love sounds! They are everywhere and they are so different. I enjoy learning new sounds and how to reproduce them again and again.
As consequence, I can't imagine my life without music. If I don't listen to it, I hum something or make music using things around me or even my own body. But usually I use more traditional instruments like guitar.
After I start studying French, languages become my new passion. It is nice to compare them: find similar things and differences.
I'm a curious person who likes to think about the Universe. I try to find proof of my thoughts in everyday life.
I'm not sporty. But climbing, cycling and walking - things I can't live without.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm up for almost any music genre but most of all I prefer rock music.
Movies: I like movies that inspire you to think a lot at the end. I also love Sci-Fi and Fantasy themes.
Books: I love Sci-Fi/Fantasy plots, but more often I read scientific books and articles as they are essential for my studies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mountains! More exact - a view from the top when you sit on the edge at 1,3 km height. I was born in a place where no even high hills, only one big plain.
Another amazing thing I've done was downhilling. I didn't ride off-road, because I didn't have any equipment (only bicycle). But anyway the speed was incredible! I really enjoyed that and want to repeat many times.

France, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russian Federation, Spain, Switzerland
