I'm very nice and kind. Born and live in Moscow.
Now I'm looking for interesting programs to continue my education - want to learn more about mass culture and visual studies.
I love to surround myself with things I enjoy the most - minerals, plants, cats, pillows :)

I like to move, to explore, to see beauty of this world.

During travelling we mostly use my bf's couchsurfing profile so for more references and info about us you can check his page: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/aleksey-kandinov

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The most important part of a journey for me is interacting with local culture and people. I know, these are common words, but it is really so interesting for me! I can talk for hours about everything because there is nothing more exciting than exploring other person and see connection between (s)his personality and culture surroundings.
I studied cultural studies and I don't think its about reading books and sitting in a library :)
For me it's exploring. So I'm here to reach my journies real goal - get in touch with you.

Interests

I love seeing magnificence of nature, the grand action of universe in small things (especially cats hehe))
It's hard for me to see injustice and evil in modern society so I do what I can: no sexism, racism, speciesism, homophobia etc in my house. Please stop hate and violence. Give love.

Reading magic realism books makes me go so deep inside the reading I can't stop untill I finish the book. I love Gustav Meyrink, Hermann Hesse. Also I like readig Virginia Woolf, Umberto Eco, Ken Kesey.

But as every person I sometimes act silly and like to relax, watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch and eat caramel popcorn :)

Teach, Learn, Share

As I said, as a culturollogist I'm very interested in finding how person and culture that surrounds her/him interact with eachother.
So it will be interesting for me to talk with you about anything.
