My life is always a journey. Some times to some new places, always — to myself. I was working on different huge events, was building my career. Now I'm 30 and I decided to take a break and to travel for new inspirations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started couchsurfing as a host to a big amount of perfect interesting persons. I was working in St. Petersburg in the office, with a few leaves during the year, so I couldn't travel a lot. But I had a flat there, so I decided “If I can't go to the world now, let it world come to me”. I was facing a lot of people, almost all of them were friendly and I made a new friends.
I have been in a lot of countries and I strongly believe, that the place is not about architecture, tour guides, museums and other classic staff like that. If you want to feel the place, you need to feel the people who live there. And Couchsurfing is the best way to get in touch with local people, make friends and share experience. Life is about sharing, so do couchsurfing.

Interests

Do you know this kind of persons, who would like to try everything? This is me! I like to try new activities. Always trying to keep my mind busy with new ideas and interests. First of all, I really know a lot about everything, I always reading and studying to find something new. Second of all — I really loves sports. I'm not a professional sportsman, but I'm in love with volleyball and can play it forever. Actually, I'm playing almost every type of playing sports. Even FIFA on Play Station :)
The only disappointing thing in my life is that I didn't manage to play some music instruments. I love music, always listen music, but can't play. But I'm really motivated to learn how to play. So if you have any options like "give him that metal thing and makes him to create a sound" or like "give him that African drum to create percussion" - I will hug you and you will be my best friend :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different kinds of music, so I don't have some specific one, that I like most. Everything depends on the mood.
I like Indy, alternative, soul, classic, pop and rock sometimes. Also, I'm exploring Latin music now.
And about books and films. I'm trying not to spend my life watching a lot of films. So about films I can tell that I really like BBC documentary films, fantastic films like Avengers and other Marvel series.
About books — it's infinity. Did you try to read Tom Robbins — Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates? Try it :)
