About Me

I'm on social networks:

1) https://www.facebook.com/m104galaxy
2) https://www.instagram.com/ilia_is_it

I started to travel by hitchhiking when I was 18 years old..
I visited 51 countries of this wonderful world.

P.S.
I think it is well filled profile can hardly tell a lot about a person. People's compatibility is difficult to find on a page in he Internet . I'd prefer to know people only live

I always have a sleeping back and a mat, so I can sleep on the floor - it's not a problem for me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found a few real friends in Couchsurfing already . I have contact with them else in real life)

Interests

You can come up with a long list and ... Most of all I wonder what will happen to my soul after death. I'm interested in the process of thinking and human psychology. I'm interested in the whole world with its diversity.
. I love music. I play notes on the classical guitar (Bach, Piazzolla, Juliani ...)
It is interesting to observe your thoughts. But most interesting to me to study people through communication.
It is interesting to communicate with people of different religious faiths.

I practice vipassana meditation

I love sport: chess :) And I play chess a lot)
