CURRENT MISSION

Stop being a couch potato, you, mate!

ABOUT ME

I work in logistics department of a big Japanese fashion retailer. Good location, some benefits, lots of Homeric laughter in our carefully moderated brotherhood and yes, weird Japanese management =) Sounds like office plankton's dream, but routine daily work seems to typically leave no space for my aspirations hidden deep down inside and safely guarded by my sarcastic attitude towards totes everything. Like I definitely require more travelling, more photography, just a little bit of extra healthy sleep and I will procure half the kingdom for anything that gathers my creative power for something epic and at least a tiny bit valuable.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe the main guiding principle of life should be do what you really-really want (yeah, there's a song about that), don't get under stereotypes pressure, live your life less ordinary. But don't hurt other people, oh please, they do exist and have feelings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Making the first steps in finding couch-surfing friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Oh, I'm brand new, so I hope to fill this gap later

Interests

I was never a fan of history studies, but recently discovered that I could stare at old XIX - beg. XX century photographs for ages (I love photography I should say). Comparing those views with contemporary sights inspires to search for historical background. And that's pretty amazing, you really should try it.

Also I'm fond of 60s. Those women - they are magnificent! Their looks is something so entirely what I'd love to be.. Though me and my jeans, oh, that's an old story.

I drink a lot of water. I assume it's healthy. I love water. I'm a crocodile!

A trying-to-be-photographer type. Stopping at every corner and noisy as a paparazzi =) Sometimes I get lovely portraits of lovely people. Worth trying!

Love sunset and dawn. They are so special.

Love sea breeze. Salty and thrilling.

Love "city-hiking". It helps in taking photos, ha.

So terrrrribly romantic..

Music, Movies, and Books

Bookworm. Book store for me is the same as jewellery shop for other girls.

I could watch a lot of movies at a time (but not a fan of mainstream ones). Love Spanish films a lot, they are so passionate and sophisticated. Enjoy British BBC productions. So far my favourite Spanish film makers of my Spanish period were so obviously Pedro Almodovar, Julio Medem and Alejandro Amenabar. Though things keep changing every day.

In music I try to find something each day, lately I'm more of an Indie-rock person with trance and dubstep hitting my playlist from time to time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done for now is not so amazing, but a great progress for me - I planned and fullfilled a 5-days trip to Spain through Czech Republic all on my own. Since I'm a bit shy with people and always afraid of possible dangers, it was quite brave for me (4 flights at a trip - quite impressive for a person with air sickness...) But that was FUN! :)))

Teach, Learn, Share

Hope I could help with some photography. I'm not a pro, but I'm totally into it and enjoy post-production greatly. So I'd be glad to take pictures of you - just anything you want to be in ;)
I'd love to share anything you want to know about Russia, teach you some Russian, bring you something from Russia, be typically Russian for you to check it out... Hm.
