About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To understand

ABOUT ME

As a host I'll be nice to you and give my best for you to feel welcomed and relaxed. As soon as we start talking I will probably ask you everything about your culture, language, travels and ideas :) As a guest, I'll be polite and nice and try not to bother you in any way. But probably even more questions! I'm an extremly curious person, with many interests, and for some of them I don't even know yet, so feel free to suggest new subjects or activities! That's why I'm here

PHILOSOPHY

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

"Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag." A. I. Solzhenitsyn

Music, Movies, and Books

As a russian and comparative literature student I read a lot of classic literature and theory, but I usually get interested in any book I see around and that's also why I often come back from my travels with bags full of books. Lately I enjoy contemporary authors like Murakami, Kundera, Pelevin, Barnes or Jhumpa Lahiri. Anything from 20th century also works, especially aestheticism, avantgarde, existentialism, magic realism etc. I hate the fact I don't have enough time to read as much as I would like to
When it comes to music, it's possible to hear Gaslight anthem, Stray dogg, Justin Timberlake, Interpol, Repetitor, Bon Iver, Nicholas Jar and who knows what in a period of one hour from my player.
Films. If it's weird or/and sad, and film editing and dialogues are solid, it's probably gonna be okay
