PHILOSOPHY
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I hosted a lot of my local and not very local drunkster friends at my apartment and some of Saint-Petersbruggers. Helped my friends from other cities/countries & some couchsurfers to make their tripping through Moscow more psychedelic.
Mostly I travel and connect with people on the road. But if I have a possibility I can host as well (depends if relatives may come into the flat or not because it's small and they want to party too).
And I can provide you with beer and towels.
Because I'm old Moskauer I like to show some unusual spots or local art districts or maybe industrial ones. Depends on what you need.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing is really nice - it helpes you to find some hit-the-road style of life fans that you can hardly find in the ordinary life. Travelling together is the best way to make friends, I guess you can see the true nature of a person through such experience.
I appreciate good hosts because I think they're so much helpful and extremely kind-hearted (if this help is not kinda sport for them) like if they are from UFO in a good way :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
We've traveled a lot by car, some breathtaking ideas come through surrealistic dreams. The most fabulous gig of my life was that one of Swans in Saint-Pete.
I had met Werner Herzog, Sharunas Bartas, Yuri Norstein, F.J. Ossang (my favorite directors) face-to-face.
I study at cinemacourses of such masters as Bakuradze and Khomeriki. I can say for sure it changed my life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to work in Final Cut program))
Or provide you with some sweet information on directors, films, festivals, video, editing (if you'd like to stare at screen as I do) and Russian culture.
How to watch films and taste wine at the same time.
How to survive in Moscow among bears and beer. And some silly tabu Russian expressions.
To teach different types of swimming (I was a sportsgrrrl) and not even in bathroom.
I can learn whatever you think is OK and not banned by authorities but let's think on it ;)
