PHILOSOPHY

God, I hate this kind of questions! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I travel I try to use CS as much as I can, as it is great way to feel local at a new place, experience something unique, share and teach.

As for hosting, I live in modern and quite new studio-apartment on 20th floor by myself close to the center of Moscow and in 2 minutes walk from Begovaya Metro station which is grand advantage.

Enriching and sometimes mind blowing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love literature, what they call 'great' authors, classical, etc, but I try to search for new names as well. Among the ones I like are Hemingway, Tolstoy, Pushkin, Iskander, Mann, Mark Twain, Brodsky, Blok, Kafka, Steinbeck, Chekhov and many others.

As for music, I enjoy a wide range of very different music from classical to indi, rock, etc.

I also love cinematography, both documentaries and fictional films. As for directors, I value Cohen brothers, Wes Anderson, Fellini, Malik and many others.
