About Me

Hi everyone! I'm a realistic optimist and friendly person.

I like to get new knowledge and to recognize people. I'm curious to know how someone perceives this world, it helps me to correct my own picture of the world, to make it less subjective. I'm for a scientific approach and critical weighing of different conceptions, but any idea has the right to exist :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

it's very interesting to communicate with people from other countries! And not only :)

Interests

I like to play guitar, ukulele and to sing. But I am not a good guitar player or singer :DD

I enjoy many things and perhaps for this reason I have not reached a high level in any of these hobbies. But I enjoy the process, and therefore believe that the level is not so important.

I make silver jewellery with animals. mountains and nature things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In fact, I don't know what to write here

When I was 19, I went to Vipassana (in Russia), where you had to live the life of a monk for 10 days. A lot to meditate, not to talk and not to contact anyone. It was a very nteresting experience, which helps me to this day. For example, it helps to ignore the annoying things and quickly fall asleep

I went up in the mountains of Peru at 5100. It was the most difficult hiking in my life which in a sense has divided life into before and after.

I ate live termites straight from the tree in the jungle of Bolivia

I can't say that it was so cool, but definitely I will remember these things for life :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to play guitar or ukulele (a little bit), prepare something to eat, share thoughts about our world and I will glad to hear your stories :)
