Hey there! I'm a software engineer with a passion for life design and personal growth. Recently divorced from a 5 year marriage.

I saw a lot of CURRENT MISSION on this site, so my current one is to be with myself in integrity and honesty. I learn to listen to an inner compass without arguing with it :)

When I'm not coding or exploring the realms of self-improvement, I'm probably out for a run, losing myself in a good book, or planning my next meditation retreat. I have a soft spot for dry humor and can always appreciate a well-timed joke.

As your potential couch surfing host or guest, I promise engaging conversations about everything from system design to the intricacies of mental health. Fair warning: I might try to convince you of the benefits of fish oil and creatine!

Always eager to learn and share experiences, I'm looking forward to connecting with like-minded travelers who are curious about the world and themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in goodness of people and life in general. I want to allow unpredictable to happen and to meet new and diverse people!

Music, Movies, and Books

When I watch movies I prefer something that is very old, with less colors and highly rated on imdb or RottenTomatoes - Lawrence of Arabia, 12 Angry men, Citizen Kane are my top picks. I like timeless staff.

In music I like soft and melodic electronic music with top picks being N2O, Worakls and Monolink. The other part of me likes death metal and hard rock bands like Children of Bodom, Metallica or Slipknot.

In books I like diversity more than anything else - I juggle biography, pop science and novels. I have profile on Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/52159693-maksim-kulichenko
