ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the greatest city in the world - Moscow! You all gotta visit Russia some time, if you haven't done so already.

PHILOSOPHY

Despise and do not tolerate pretence, disrespect, vulgarity, ignorance, and racism.

Do not like borders, politics, visas, religious fanatism -- these things prevent people of different nations from socializing freely!

Check out all of my numerous, collected quotes below - they say a great deal about me, I believe!

Quotes:
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, and today is a gift - that is why we call it PRESENT!"

"If you want to be happy, then be."
-Leo Tolstoy

"She's a kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry;
Still, you don't regret a single day. Ah, girl, girl!"
-The Beatles

"Eventhough you are just one person in the whole world, to one person you are the whole world."
-Gabriel Garcia Marquez

"-Are y'all gangstas? -No, we are Russians..."
-Брат 2 (Brother II)

"Insured by the Russian MAFIA"
-Stolen From Fesenko's Myspace ;)

"If you love someone, let them go. If they return to you, it was meant to be. If they don't, their love was never yours to begin with."
-Folk Wisdom (stealthily stolen from Katya DiTirro's wall)

Everything is OK in the end. If it's not OK, then it's not the end.

I would like to have the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change, COURAGE to change the things I can, and WISDOM to know the difference.

"Something that doesn't kill you only makes you stronger"

"The destiny always agrees with the real man."
"С настоящим мужчиной судьба всегда согласна."
-Сериал "Моя Граница" 1-ая серия.

In Russian:
"Только влюблённый имеет право на звание человека" А. Блок

"Три источника имеют влечения человека: душу, разум и тело.
Влечения душ порождают дружбу.
Влечения ума порождают уважение.
Влечения тела порождают желание.
Соединение трёх влечений порождает любовь."
-"Ветки персика."

"Не оплакивай, смертный, вчерашних потерь,
Дел сегодняшних завтрашней меркой не мерь,
Ни былой, не грядущей минуте не верь,
Верь минуте текущей - будь счастлив теперь!"
- Великий Омар Хайям

"Утопим Свою печаль в вашей водке. Выезд бeсплатный."
"Заразим вас оптимизмом. Половым путем - за отдельную плату."
-Народное

"Мне все равно.
Мне даже все равно, все ли мне равно."
-Неизвестный

"В рабочий полдень я проснулся стоя
Опять матрас попутал со стеной.
Я в понедельник вышел из запоя,
Но вот те на - сегодня выходной!"
-Башлачов

"Вот мой секрет, он очень прост: зорко одно лишь сердце. Самого главного глазами не увидишь."
-Экзюпери

Если выпил хорошо, значит утром плохо.
Если утром хорошо, значит выпил плохо.

Что делать если выпивка мешает работе?
Надо такую работу бросать!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to host people as well as be hosted by people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experience with CS yet, but here are some other surfing experiences I've had.

In 2006 spent some unforgettable quality time with a friend from Atlanta, but originally from Harkov in Koktebel', Simferopol', and Har'kov - all in Ukraine.

Earlier the same year surfed in Chicago at Aris's, enjoying the wonderful city had to offer.

In 2007 crashed in Warsaw, Poland in the living room of a local DJ, whom I met a year earlier through my current Polish roommate, while being at a musical festival on the Black Sea in Ukraine.

Same year spent two nights in downtown Minks, Belarus at an apartment of a friend of a friend from Atlanta, but originally from Minsk. Delicious food was eaten and lots of alcohol was consumed.

Interests

Chillin', partyin', dancin', skiin', sky-divin', playin', singin', and a whole bunch of other thangs that end with ~in'~, but also nature, sun, fresh air, beach - in a nutshell: enjoying life to the fullest!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped out of a plane and plunged down towards the mother-earth (with a parachute and an expert sky-diver included and attached)!

Climbed Masada - an ancient fortress in Israel - at 4 am and saw the sunrise ascend above the Jordan Mountains.

I love watching sunrises. Here are some unusual places, where I've done it: above mentioned Masada, Israel; Antaliya, Turkey; Moscow and the country-side, Russia; Miami, US; L'viv and Crimea, Ukraine; Georgia Mountains, US
