About Me

I am filmmaker and photographer. I travel because I want to spread my vision on the world and increase my art skills. We travel and shoot videos together with my girlfriend Tanya.
We are from Russia, and now - currently stay on Bali, Indonesia (since september 2015). We like it very much, and sometimes want to go somewhere else! If you are to come to Bali, we will be glad to share with you great tips to know and places to visit. I am good at surfing, so I can help to manage some first skills) I also adore snowboarding and skateboarding.
Travelling is great opportunity for us to learn new places, different points of view and get acquainted with creative and interesting people for sharing experience, chill and becoming friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My goal - to see the world and make great films in each country and city.
While we are travelling Asia - we met up with huge amount of our new friends. It is very good oppoturnity to find mate soul in every journey, because I find it like some kind of magic - to be at same place in same time....)))))
Sometimes we don`t have enough money, but we have our camera and great inspiration. So, if you like photography and videos - we can make a great collaboration together, and if you like meeting new positive people - welcome)) we are open for new)

My favorite music is reggae, jungle, minimal, techno, traditional, live music and more different. When I snowboarding or skateboarding - I listen to the old-school hip-hop)
My favorite book is "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand, "Martin Eden" by Jack London.
I love films, directed by Steven Soderbergh, brothers Coen (actually Bro and Sis now))), Guy Ritchie, Vincent Gallo, Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, Kevin Patrick Smith and some works of David Lynch.
Моя любимая музыка - реггей, рагга джангл, минимал техно! когда я катаюсь на скейте или сноуборде, то слушаю олдскульный хип-хоп!
Фаворитом из книг стал художественный роман Айн Рэнд-Атлант расправил плечи.
По фильмам люблю работы режиссера Гая Ричи!
