About Me

I'm collecting impressions and finding poetic context in things that happen to me.
Apparently, there will never be a lifelong thing like "hehe look I'm a photographer/sculptor/musician/taxidermist", but i totally love to create: cartoons, drawings, novels, songs, textile crafts. Things and people from the past are my passion, as well as good books and good music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Actually, everyone is teaching us something (though, some teach us to stay away from the jerks). Couchsurfing is what always helped me to catch the atmosphere of places, to find out if i want to belong there or not, or to get some humanity. Also, there's a hight chance of finding a treasure of a person. While traveling it means a lot: it's not very common to me to run into passers-by in Yerevan or Isfahan to make friends, so CS is how i met my friends. Sometimes i live in places that allow me to have guests as well, then i'd like to host and meet amazing people.
