Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I didn’t remember how I follow to couch surfing, but explain me about this Olga Barabanova (she in my friends). She accepting guests and traveling with couchsurfing. She like it
Couchsurfing is interesting me because it is not plastic hotels, where a chance to see real country with all pluses and minuses is not so big. Usually people that accepting guests is all rounder and interesting people. I very appreciate it.
I will happy to give some help persons that will give me a guest (knowledge, service or something material (e. g. - rare thing that possible to buy only in Moscow)).

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer light, minimalistic, impressionistic music, but I love not only that. Love that incendiary me also. In vocal prefer non-usualy manner of performance.

Classical: Rachmaninoff, Grieg (especially his piano works), Beethoven, Bach only smash hits and The Well-Tempered Clavier, Ravel, Eric Satie, some Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky.

Neo-Classical: Philip Glass, love too much, but his piano and orchestra works, not organ works. Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi now not so interesting as before

Love the label «Flower Blossom in the Space», they have a lot of good performers.

Zemfira. Her performance is real awesome!
Leningrad - love texts. Have sense. Yes, it’s funny songs, but this have logic.
Amy Winehouse, Сплин, Flёur, Alai Oli, Настя Жук, Alina Orlova, Radiohead, Bee Gees, postwar Russian songs also, Soviet song.

Trip-hop, EDM, IDM, electromusic and different dubstep mixes (but not just dsh-dsh, with the melody):
Mujuice, Portishead, Archive, Beats Antique, not so popular Gaugel
