My name is Alexander Wassilenko
I was born in Magdeburg - as a son of ukrainian immigrants from Odessa.
I have been dancing Breaking, doing Writing for 15 years now, that is why Breaking and Hip Hop culture in general are very important aspects of my life.
For the last four years i have been devoting my time as well to MCIng.
I am a very outgoing, enthusiastic person, prone to indulge in deep philosohic conversations full of associations etc., really easy to click with and have a nice time.
This is my new profile, i am an experienced couch surfer (in Latvia)- via this official site and offline-since i stayed over at peoples places i got to know on my trips to urban dance events in Germany.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

-because i really like to get in touch with new people, see new places, to get to know the stories of people of the places i visit
- to build with people in order to create something beautiful which query national borders and mundane realities

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you basic concepts and moves of Breaking
get you more familiar with the historical background of the emergence of the emancipatory movement better known as hip hop-which is unfortunately overshadowed and shrouded by the gangsta-rap-focus of the media since the 1980s
i can show you and explain you some basic technique of tagging in calligraphy style as well as introduce you into the practice of freestyle-rapping
-also we can talk in russian, german, bulgarian- to improve your language skills
