CURRENT MISSION

organizing my next trip

ABOUT ME

I am vegetarian, journalist and crazy horror-movies lover. In every place I visit I am always looking for something special like legends or haunted houses. But I also don't mind visiting popular tourist attractions. I like contemporary art, so I try to visit modern galleries more often than usual museums. By the way, I don't like clubbing at all (I mean I can go, but I dont dance) and hate too much shopping. It is much better for me to take a drink or two with new friends in local pubs.
Btw I really love beer. And in every country I try to taste local one :)

PHILOSOPHY

As a buddhist I love this quote: "All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage... If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him." (Siddhartha Gautama)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always happy to meet someone and show around my beautiful city. U just need to tell me what are u interested in! I can show you popular museums and attractions, local pubs, some kind of bars and galleries connected with underground culture, night city, beautiful suburbs and other things. Just ask me! But I am not expert in night clubs (but i can give some advices of course) and sport activities (i am not sport person. but i am always excited about watching football!! i really love it!)...
Also I travel a lot, so sometimes it's difficult to catch me here :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all noir movies. And during my life I watched almost all horror movies :) I am looking for new ones :)

I studied literature for more than 10 years, so I have many favourite books. But nothing compares with "Dracula" and classical russian literature. And I always find inspiration for my journalist work in novels by William Faulkner and Scott Fizdgerald.

I can listen to almost all types of music. But I really can't stand dance music like trance, electronic stuff etc. I prefer rock. And it is better if it is acoustic and live :) Rap music keeps me alive, when i really want to sleep so much, that I can just fall down :) And I like to go to see ballet and opera. Btw, if you also like it, we can go in Spb to the one of the best theatres in the world to enjoy it!
