Hello, my name is Mitya, he/him. Nice to meet you!

I was born and raised in Minsk, traveled a little with my parents as a child. Then made a life-changing decision to go to the university abroad and pursue my passion for animation. Now, after the uni I finally have enough courage to travel more and further.

I'm not very loud or wild, and not extremely sociable, but I like board games, walks and sharing valuable experiences with other people.

Also, I'm queer and vegan

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the experience, trying to widen my worldview. I would also like to meet new people, to become more in touch with what life is like beyond my own experience. Would be happy to meet like-minded folks from all over the world

Interests

I love both hands on and concept driven activities. Most of my interests are tied to the overarching desire to make sense of the world around and within

• arts
• cooking
• politics
• drawing
• animation
• language learning
• nature lover
• woodcarving

Music, Movies, and Books

music: recently I've been into The mountain goats ('Getting into knives' and 'In league with dragons' albums), soutaisei riron and necry talkie

books: at the moment I'm reading J.B. Priestley's Angel Pavement and enjoying a lot
