ABOUT ME

Very curious.

PHILOSOPHY

Use - don't waste
Make fun - do no harm

...I tried to be as overarching as possible here :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed in many countries and participated in CS-organized events. I've offered couch wherever it was possible:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best one possible. In Ukraine, Russia, Germany and the U.S. among others.

Interests

I like evolution and development of all kinds of things. I'm currently a graduate student at University of Colorado Boudler where I have the opportunity to study evolution and development of vertebrates. But other than that I read books of all sorts, hike and backpack wherever I can. I like spontaneity and profound discussions (and laugh at them at times). I have to admit, sometimes I like to make inappropriate fun of people, but always with good intentions!

Music, Movies, and Books

My roots lie in Art Rock of the 70s (Yes, Rush, Genesis) but during my youth I have extended my interests from czech folkrock (Nerez, Vladimi­r Misik) to modern prog (Sieges Even, Porcupine Tree, Transatlantic).

I enjoy complex rhythms and melodies and I love to improvise on all kinds of instruments.

Books I have read which pop up from my memory at the moment: Murakami's Wind-up Bird Chronicle and Norwegian Wood, Vidal's Juliano El Apostata, Lermontov's Герой нашего времени¸ Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games... and definitely Jules et Jim by Henri Pierre Roche.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a night at the Gibraltar rock.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach Spanish, English and Russian. I can share my worldviews, which are actually much more complex than those I've put in the Philosophy section :) I want to learn to play any musical instrument available. I would pay back by teaching guitar playing. I could surely share my passion for long discussions at the interface of scientific and primitive thinking :)
