I'm Ivan. I always wanted to live wide. So, I interested in a lot of things - different music, different books, different places. I'm curious about life and it's multiple effects. I want to meet new people and places, and I have a lot of stories - funny and grief. Also I love to hear stories. For now my main fields are graphic design and music (I'm a drummer).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because of my intentions and specific view on travelling. It's not about money. I always prefer to meet people from places I visit - because it's true way to travel I think. It opens more opportunities, and more sides and aspects of the world. Ordinary way to travel - hotels and tours - are a little bit boring for me, so I prefer hitch-hiking and couchsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I think that music is music. It's not about style, it's about beauty. But if I prefer something it would be jazz music - Miles Davis, Johnny Hodges, Keith Jarrett, John Abercrombie and a lot of others. I like modern, classical and rock music though.

My favorite directors are Paul Thomas Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, Steven Soderbergh, Wong Kar Wai, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Federico Fellini, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Andrei Tarkovsky, Alejandro G. Iñárritu

My favorite writers are Vonnegut, Akutagawa, Sturgeon, Strugatsky Brothers, Twain, Plato, Blake, Salinger, Kafka.
