About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save some money!

ABOUT ME

Привет!
Working as a tram driver, trying to save some money to make a grand tour of the world in a year or two. Since I'm living in a minimal appartment I can't really receive guests, but I'm mostly open for a coffee or beer in the town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been surfing a couple of couches in Eastern Europe and Asia, and it has been great. Always meeting friendly, intelligent, interesting people.

Interests

Intersted in most things... except music. I'm totally uninterested in music. I read a lot, walk a lot and sleep a lot. Like to learn new things. Now, I'm trying to learn some Russian and to knit.
Otherwise I like to talk about history and politics and such stuff. I have a a little bit nerdy interest for history. I also like really bad jokes and (of course?) The Simpsons.

Music, Movies, and Books

The list of books could be long... My favourite authors at the moment (and it can change very quickly) is German Nobelprize winner Heinrich Böll and the Swedish author Torgny Lindgren. (Lindgren's latest book "Norrlands Akvavit" wasn't great though.)
And Kafka is great too, of course.
Movies: Godfather, all three parts are great. Pretty much like Kafka, about people thrown out in a world with rules and logic that they just don't want to accept.
TV: The Simpsons. I'm a semi-obsessed Simpson nerd. Have all episodes on my computer, and watch them too often. Favorite episode? Could be almost anyone from the golden era of the early 90s.
