About Me

I'm a twentysomething young man from russian province, who's trying to find out what's running here. Anywhere.
Looking for reasons to stay happy and love the life living it.
Looking for people who do like the same stuff and have more experience.
Looking for Friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was curious as I heard for the first time about Couchsurfing and the opportunity to travel without having a lot of money just using the chance just to be a guest at somebody's home. I didn't believe it's real for people like me but just for some people like hippies or something like that.
Not long ago I had an oppotunity to host a tourist from Argentina and discovored that it's a really great experience and the chance to see the people and the other countries not obly as a tourist but "from the inside", from their point of view.

Interests

I have many interests changing from time to time.

The last one was bodybuilding but I didn't have enough patience and will to make it my passion. But it's very good for health and self-feeling.
I think that staying sporty and fit is the basis for a man, especially young man.

Except it I like to read, especially non-fiction, articles and blogs about politics, history and modern society. I like to spend time reading anything, book or newspaper.

I very like to walk, especially in places where I have never been.
And I like to find places, in and out of the cities, where I could stay alone with my thoughts.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a real music lover and I'm curious to different genres.

I'm sure its more interesting to know a lot about music and all the genres to develope my own music taste and outlook.

I have interest in history, so I like history films very much. But not at all, sometimes I like to watch "fast food" movies, like action blockbusters. No slashers!

I really read books rarely but trying to find the most incredible and unordinary.
As I was a kid I read very much, mostly science-fiction, fantasy too.
I still love these genres because they remind me about my childhood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did many crazy things in my life, including my first experience of hitchhiking.
But one of the last craziest things I did was a hitchhike on the highway from St. Petersburg to Novgorod at the late night in January at fifteen degrees below zero.
Truly it wasn't dangerous because there was a tavern nearby but it was most extreme situations on the road.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm not very sure, I can teach someone, because from my opinion I'm a bad teacher, but I can discuss and share my little life experience, including travelling by hitchhike and some foreign languages stuff.
I feel very interested in studying languages and intercultural communications with people, it's a very necessary thing from my opinion in the modern times.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would share everything I have, but the problem is I haven't much things, especially when I'm travelling and looking for a host. But I can offer my tooth pasta, soap or sleep bag at least if you're in need, haha!
Oh, I just forgave my tent for two persons - you're welcome, if there's no place for sleepingh :-)
