Overview
About Me
I am an ambitious person with many ideas. I usually follow the news, because I am concerned about what's going on in the world.
I respect other people's points of view.
I love animals! Love tasting local cuisines. I never leave a country without a strong will to learn it's language.
And I love people. Beautiful, intelligent, bright. The way they are.
P.S. Please, don't try to add me in any social network (facebook, vk) if we didn't discuss it. I do not enjoy being stalked by strangers. No one does.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When I travel I like to meet people from different cultures and to get to know them, because meeting people from all over the world is the greatest way to explore the world.

Music, Movies, and Books
Due to lots of studying I don't read as many books a year as I would like to (textbooks and endless papers on syntax and semantics do not count), so I try to only read those books that would leave a great impression. My favourites are "La muerte de Artemio Cruz" by Carlos Fuentes, "The house, in which..." by Mariam Petrosyan and "Billard um halb Zehn" by Heinrich Böll. These three books struck me in recent years. But there are more in my mind and many more that I hope to explore in the future.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you a little bit about the basics of modern linguistics and what it shares with cognitive sciences; there are things that the scientific community knows about our language faculcy, which, I believe, are quite curious.
Also I can teach you some Russian.
