I work at Google in Los Angeles and live very close to the famous Venice beach and the historical Venice canals. You can walk/bike/rollerblade to Venice beach or the canals in few minutes. Santa Monica pier and Santa Monica Promenade are just another few minutes from there!

I am in the intersection of geeks and artists. I do computer stuff as my day job, visual arts as a hobby, and extreme sports as a way to keep life exciting.

I value creativity and art in general. Especially, I have a passion for visual arts. I think a lot about our perception of beauty.

I try to take care of my body and mind. I like outdoor activities and being in touch with nature. I enjoy hiking, camping, running at the beach, snorkeling etc. Oh and I love animals! I have had many pets but sadly I have no pets at the moment.

I enjoy intellectual conversations. Random topics are welcome! A random topic can be "Whether true random phenomena exist?".

I try to enjoy life and experience new things every now and then. I like to think that I am improving myself in different aspects as I get older.

I'm constantly thinking where I should travel next! suggestions are more than welcome :)

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I couch surf, host, meetup, and host CS events regularly. I love to meet new cultured, open-minded, and intellectual people. Majority of people I have met on couchsurfing have been awesome people and have influenced my life for the better :-)

If you are in town, consider joining one of our bi-weekly awesome Westside Pool Parties (WPP). We have them on 1st and 3rd Fridays of evey month!
Look them up under the events search (http://goo.gl/qAD9CG)

If they are full (and they usually are), just stay tuned and we will add more spots to the events as it gets closer to the day of the event.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

The most important aspect of couchsurfing for me is the cultural exchange. You will learn a lot when you get to know people with different views, habits, life styles, goals and ambitions. I usually have great conversations with my hosts and guests and end up learning a lot from them :-)
