About Me

Keen on music and drawing. More precisely, I play different types of percussion and continuously elevate my skills by any possible experience.
Easy-going and calm person, I think I can accept different points of view having my own one and I like to learn people, their characters and moods and to learn from them.
Travelling is something special for me 'cause it plays a role not only of a some kind of a vacation but puts you in some circumstances where you meet yourself more psychologically naked and vivid in your expressions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a unique network which gives me an opportunity to watch the world from different angles and get acquianted not with a guide who is thirsty for the bunch of dollars from my pocket for any typical museum excursion but with a person who knows the inner life of a city and who is eager to share his experience and will be cheer because of a new acquiantance.

Interests

Of course, music is my favourite thing to do. Music improvisation, particularly. It inspires me and I myself put my inspiration there back.
Sometimes I draw.
It's very cool to notice interesting moments and perspectives and to imprint them via photographing.
Often I cherish my taste receptors with cooking various incredible dishes.
And travelling naturally!!! Fantastic magnificent unforgettable journeys.
