I treat my life as day to day cognition of universe. To skip philosophy - everything could be interesting. How things work, where wind gets from, why people are sometimes angry, and how to deal with all that.
My wife and daughter are big part of my life and thanks to them I'm becoming more humane, responsive, responsible, and happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After spending time and money for trips with detailed plan I understood, that it doesn't give proper satisfaction. The more you relate on other's people ideas, energy and enthusiasm - the more you happy moments you get from life. The same thing I can provide for others.

The only reason for me to stay at stranger's home - is good sincere communication as a port to other world. New ideas, thoughts, feelings, activities is a result of communication.

Interests

I like to do new things with my hands. In past I have huge experience with restoring antique furniture and some day I will return to it.

I'm a captive of music. I'm in love in rythmes, harmony, composition up and downs. Indian, jazz, some rock, folk, a little bit of classic and mixes of styles.

Food is my another obsession. I'm tasting some good food in restaurant and then trying to reproduce it without recipe. Flavors and their mixes are like explosions. But combining flavors with sweet, salty, sour and chilly - drives me crazy. I think that quantity of indian plantations of spices is the reason for India to be a flavor center of the world.

I like to develop strategy and perform daily routines to reach goals. I like to see that in numbers that's why I'm amazed by doing business. Such approach pushes to deal with new types of tasks, and as a result to develop myself.
