About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I like travelling and communication with new interesting people.

ABOUT ME

I'm not square)
Moved from Kharkiv to Lisbon because of the war that russia has started in Ukraine.

PHILOSOPHY

Sometimes the only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy.

It doesn't mean that I am crazy, it means you should think deeper and look closer to understand what it means.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I lile traveling and meeting new people, share stories, so I’ve chosen CS. In Kharkiv people are rarely asking for a host, our city is not very tourist. But since I moved to a very small flat, I can host only people with sleeping bags.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed in Istanbul for 1 week and want to go on couchsurfing. Upd: I have been to Stockholm, Vilnius, Frankfurt, Budapest, Warsaw, Poznan, Nice, Paris. I liked everybody who hosted me and showed me around. Only one guy from Vienna didn’t like me, we didn’t have much in common, he liked night life and I prefer healthy sleep after 2am. Talks with foreigners, but so similar in all nationalities, are great, still:))))

Music, Movies, and Books

This is my weakness. I am a movie buff. I like old french movies, new wave, italian neorealism, golden age of Hollywood, Alfred Hitchkock's movies with Grace Kelly, I like American beauty, american art house, early movies by Scorsese, Cubric's, brothers Coen's creativity. "Girl, Interrupted", "Who's afraid of Virginia Wolf?", "A Streetcar named Desire". I like intellectual comedies by Woody Allen, my favorite films by this director are "Bullets Over Broadway" and "Love and Death". I like Ingmar Bergman's masterpieces such as "Persona", "Autumn Sonata", "Cries and Whispers". I admire Bernardo Bertolucci's movies. His cinematographer Vittorio Storaro is a God of camera. In my opinion "Last tango in Paris" is his best movie. "1900", "The Conformist", "The Sheltering Sky" also touched me deeply. I like "The Dreamers" as well, marvelous, really. My favorite actress is Jodie Foster. I like her performances in "Taxi Driver", "The girl who lives down the lane", "The Accused", "The Silence of the Lambs", "The Carnage". I also think, that Marlon Brando did the greatest performance of his life in Kazan's "A Streetcar Named Desire". I can speak about cinema endless. But I like reading not less than watching movies. I name some books that I like most of all, they are "Tropic of Cancer" by Henry Miller, Nabokov's "Lolita", "The Collector" by John Fowles, "The Dangerous Liaisons" a French epistolary novel by Choderlos de Laclos and so on.
Speaking about music I think that Russian singer Zemfira has brilliant songs.
I also like opera and fashion, especially streetwear.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was taking part in filming of the movie as a crowd. I should dance at the party where everybody put on their head black boxes, or suit. My mask was made out of insoles. It was nuts.
Upd 2019: this movie is DAU and it became an exhibition that premiered in Paris in 3 theaters

Teach, Learn, Share

I like Ukrainian language and can teach it to people and I like to create shot movies and can work with Pinnacle and Sony Vegas. Also I know a lot about testing computer software. I watched a lot of movies and read a lot of books, I am interested in psychoanalysis and philosophy.
