About Me

Generally, following my heart :) I try to do things that make my heart sing, and if it makes others people's hearts sing, it's even better! Usually, in my case this thing is music and travelling, or combination of those- the best!
Also, what I can say about myself- sometimes I try to be in all places at one time and can't stop myself- I know I should be aware of the fact that it's impossible. And not very reasonable. Yes, I'll stop it...
...tomorrow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like sharing... had some great experiences already, making amazing friendships through cousurfing, i would say it changed my life in a way!

Interests

What makes my life meaningful:

Thing that fills my whole life- music. I'm a music teacher. Now doing research about traditional music in Balkan countries. I love talking to people about it (hope i'm not too boring with that!!)

My second passion- travelling
Meeting people on my way, exploring culture with all of the aspects of it.
I prefer staying longer in one place, than just making trips and getting to know as much as possible about people's way of living and all that ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am fond of classical music- especially 19th century Russian composers. Besides, I listen to old rock (psychodelic, progressive) music- Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, and so on... lately Rory Gallagher is my addiction
But sometimes I also like something newer, like John Frusciante.
And above this, i'm crazy about traditional music from different countries, now focusing on Balkan, and have to admit that Greek music is my favourite. Rebetiko especially.
I'm a big fan of music festivals too! So many plans and too many festivals too attend!

Literature: Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Lem, Kundera, Hemingway, poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe playing guitar with friend througt the night sitting on the Baikal lake coast, looking at the sky, so amazingly lightened by stars and trying to avoid bat attacks...
