About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be myself.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Ivan, I was born in Moscow and live here.

PHILOSOPHY

To do my best.
I like simple and positive ideas, and more practical, to allow me think less about it. So I refer to Wittgenstein who said once "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and surf. Welcome:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my CS experience seems to be very bright and amazing. And I wonder that it is still continued:)

Interests

I like to observe nature and people, learn different cultures and share stories. I'm interested and inspired by beauty of people, societies and systems. So that affects lot of fields, as sociology, psychology and engineering, which I prefer to learn practically, via travelling. That's why I'm interested in just things to do, cooking, eating, reading, listening to music, and so on. I like skiing, hiking, and travelling of course)

Music, Movies, and Books

I guess that main inspiration is delivered by classics, like Gibran, Bunin, Kafka, Pavich, Chekhov. And some years before I've read a lot science fiction and fantasy. Also I'm interested in local myths, fairytales, to feel soul of the place and people.

Now I listen more classical music, just cuz I found vynil player with a lot of old school records.

In I like just good movies - you can find a lot of lists of that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seems that all the life is most amazing thing ever happens.

Teach, Learn, Share

So generally I can teach and share whatever I know, maybe share some common sense knowledge, or any issue in tags of "my interest" above))
I'd like to learn your culture and your way of life as it is.
