Musician (conductor, double-bassist), interpreter (sometimes) and nice guy %) I like to travel and meet new people around the world. Also I a karaoke-fan, so just don`t be confused if I sing in your shower.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is mine second nature. I just dream with visting Great Britain but I also adore German-speaking countries. So, and I make a comparative research of various opera houses and karaoke-bars around the world ;) If you like art in all ways, music, smart talk, middle-crazy things to do - we`ll surely be friends!

Interests

Music - all kinds of, I study classical music but it`s dumb to research and find inspiration only in one style. Literature, translating, architecture, history of styles in art, all kinds of strong drinks, unusal parties with interesting people, Great Britain and british comedians (James Corden, Jimmy Carr and Stephen Fry particulary), endless walks in nature and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, does it count that once I was touring as a orchestral bassist in France for a month and there wasn`t a day without a bottle of Bordeuax at 8 AM?
If not - this summer I met a sunrise on one of the highest roofs of my native town, on which I have climbed without permission of goverment ;)
