Hi there

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love to meet new people and understand their thoughts, feelings, their way of thinking

Interests

People - my major interest! That's why I am studying sociology. One of my favourite books is Erich Fromm's "To have or to be" - the main thought is about our contemporary society of consumption, where we consume things, statuses, impressions and even people. I'd like choose the over way, the way "to be" - to live conscious life, free from stereotyping and society pressures.

So I like to travel and meet new people, and to know their world views.

Also I love to learn something new - now I'm learning to play guitar, to play chess, and, besides, estudio español y hablo un poco :)

Music, Movies, and Books

music:
I am fond of music and love almost everything, and especially - The Doors, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Manu Chao, Moby, Beirut, Mumford and Sons, The National, Bob Marley, Arcade Fire, Annen May Contereit, Sixto Rodriguez, PJ Harvey, etc. Also I love jazz and russian music (I can show you some really good russian music:))

books:
Have you heard about Leo Tolstoy? He is amazing and is honored the title of my favourite author! Besides, I love Dostoevsky and Vladimir Nabokov. Futhermore, I love Jack Kerouac, and all that bit-generation wave is very close to me.
