ABOUT ME

I never completely got over the high school format of listing random facts about self in an attempt to come off as really, really deep and mysterious, so there are some about me:
sarcastic most of the time - years of watching british comedy instead of having a life really pays off;

passed all 'friends' related tests on buzzfeed (I'm a Phoebe-Chandler mesh up who would date Ross!);

tried learning to cook one item of ukrainian food in hope that it will increase odds of me being hosted; failed miserably;

successfully extrapolated the exceptional ability to actually talk to people on the internet into real life;

lindy hop evangelist: able to blabber about jazz age/teachers/performances without paying much attention to whether the other person is interested or not

PHILOSOPHY

Practice what you preach

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly by confirming whatever stereotype foreigners have about eastern europeans. Also by being a guide - my current place has no furniture (very hipster, yes) so unless you don't mind bringing in a sleeping bag, I can't provide accommodation. Showing my friends' guests around the city when the above mentioned friends are too lazy to do it themselves.

Interests

Stalking people online, music, dancing (my life kinda revolves around dancing these days. Do not give me that judgemental stare, it's not like you actually have your life together), parenthesises, british comedy, british culture, british everything, really, popular physics (I am not able to understand anything more of it hehe), food (more cooking than eating), reading webcomics for unhealthy amount of time, and Jarvis Cocker as a separate point
