ABOUT ME

I always enjoy obtaining all different sorts of knowledge,meeting inspirational people,seeing beauty of the world in all it`s variety,all sorts of creativity and a human spirit. I love philosophy and psychology,design in all it`s variety,arts,reading,movies,yoga and organics,dancing,skinny dipping ,boogie-boarding,animals,beaches and mountains ,hiking and traveling... I also like driving at night when the city is quiet and look at the full moon. I enjoy spending time by myself but I also enjoy sharing my time with the genuine people which I feel comfortable about.

PHILOSOPHY

Beauty is everywhere...make your time to see it.
If you want to save the world,start from yourself.
I know that I know nothing.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to participate more.I went to the CS meeting in San Francisco and it was very cool.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Actually I did it long ago in Russia ,but nobody called it CS then. You just meet some nice people while traveling and they offer you to stay with them .I enjoyed my both CS experiences. In USA I met such a wonderful couch!

I enjoy designing and painting clothes,screen printing,making bags and jewelry , Maori carving...

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Variety .I am a fan of some retrospective movies and a member of Auckland film Society .

Love classical music, Mozart , salsa....and ethnic music with the drums especially. Carlos Santana of course. New Zealand singer Bic Runga at the moment.

From the Antient Greeks ( Plato) to........It`s so great to discover someone who is really a good modern writer.And it happens quite often to me.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Self-development courses . Practicing deep meditation. Overcoming an old fear of heights-parasailing in the stormy weather was very helpful.
UFO was really beautiful to see...but there are so many wonders to see around a very single day....like the sunsets...And I saw a sunrise in Gisborne in New Zealand when the sun rises first in the whole world. It feels incredible. Being very close to the Southern Pole and look at the Stewart Island was very unusual too.Especially for a person from Europe.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Probably my teaching career is over... I was a University lecturer for quite a while...but now I am a student again. I am learning optimism at the moment,but don`t mind to learn 1000s of thing. Spanish would be nice to learn, I dream about going to Latin America.
From my turn...history of philosophy, formal logic,public speaking... Are you not bored yet? If thought,I can paint your jeans instead.
