Hey ! I'm Illya and I am a young traveller. I was born in Crimea, Ukraine but as a kid my family and I went to Spain, country where I grew.

Even though I study Engineering on Telecomunications at University of Gran Canaria, I love music and art, learning new things and I love travelling since it keeps my mind wide open. Love for everybody ! :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I'm on couchsurfing because I understand it is a good platform for meeting people and making my trips more enjoyable.

Interests

Well, my interests are all those things which can open the doors of our perception of this world. Therefore, I love reading, music and all kind of arts, philosophy and oriental thinking.

Cosmos is another of my interests: stars, nebulae, planets, etc..

I play several instruments: guitar, melodica, harmonica, and some kind of drums;
I produce music too, kinda mixing jazz with electronica or hip hop:

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz, Soul, Funky, Rap( with a jazzy colour, please ), Classic, Flamenco, Ska & Rocksteady, Electronica.. MUSIC !

I really like Spanish movies and all those films with an interesting plot and good actors and images.

I Love Studio Ghibli !!!!

Books... Sciencie fiction is a topic I really like, but I also love spiritual and phylosophical books. Authors I like are:
Nietzsche, Herman Hesse, Dmitry Glukhovsky, Jack Kerouac, Spiritual books with no author ( such as the Diamond Sutra, Buddhist Canons, Bhagavad Gita, Upainshads, Bible, etc.. ), Basho ( japanese poetry ), Krishnamurti and a long etc of good literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled along some of Canary Islands jumping from good cliffs with my friends. I've also seen death face to face in the Tatra mountains ( well , that was my perception ), walking on ice and snow with my skate DC shoes and my grilfriends pijama.

LOVELY
