In the past I was hitchhiking a lot in Turkey, Georgia and Armenia! It was a great experience!

I left my job, went to Carpathian mountains, was travelling in Ukraine and Turkey. I was living for 3 months in the tent, got a lot of inspiration and knowledge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the right place to meet open, interesting and brave people, who can become good friends.

Unfortunately, for now I don't have my own place to offer. So I can only offer my skills and company :)

Interests

I'm in love with nature and the wild world! Also, I can't imagine my life without art! I like to learn and create new things. For the last couple of years, I paint in watercolour a lot, create lettering, do various design job for animal protection and some music bands, participating in social projects and strikes. I believe people consume much more than needed and ignore a lot of major problems. I don't like sexism, speciesism, racism, ignorance, and conservatism.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music of many genres (except pop, disco, rap, r'n'b etc; I'm very picky about vocals). Hope you can show me your local underground club :)
I like science fiction and thrillers, don't like TV and soap operas.
