ABOUT ME

Byronic Hero character Similar to "Hero of our Time" by Mikhail Lermontov (Does not mean one is a hero in literal sense)

I am haunted by many things, but above all, I am haunted by inhumanity, all the while the very core of humanity define my beliefs, dreams, and consciousness.

I am studying the departments/faculty of Economic and “Slavic Language and literature. For the second faculty, I will have to choose Polish or Serb-Bosnian-Croatian language to specialize in this Fall.

My ambitions are to obtain PHD in Economics and Law , after which I shall apply them to promote human rights activism and research.

My dreams are to promote and advance the instruments of humanity-to contribute to society and bring about peace, hope and happiness to the society and people.

I fight bears in the Serbian forests and then drink vodka with them, discussing how we can assassinate Putin!.

I still have Soviet dreams.

I have a lot of ideas, thoughts and knowledge about the nature of reality which we live in, and given my passion for language, it makes my writing easier and usually effortless.

I am not a fan of this technology age or (digital) technology generation that we now live in-I believes it lessen the social culture and our natural organic environmental surroundings. When I rent my own place without roommates or have my own place some day, I don't get internet. I don't own cell phone. Or any social media account.

Fiercely proud of my Russian roots, yet disgusted and angered by the poisoning of Russian soil since the collapse. Hate nationalism. View all Slavs or far east people as brothers/sisters regardless of geographical boundaries.

I am humorous, honest, occasionally clever, intelligent, curious, somewhat cynic and realist, all the while maintaining large degree of idealism. Oxymoron I know, but true nevertheless.

PHILOSOPHY

let's not get into that-ask if you want to know. It could not simply be summarized up in this box.

Okay-just one for now.

"Let everything that have been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. And most importantly, let them believe in themselves,"

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I live with roommates so I cannot host now but will show you Santa Monica and the greater region of Los Angeles. I will definitely take you to areas that visitors normally haven't heard of or are aware of.

My advice: Forget about public transporation if you want to explore as much of Los Angeles as you can in two-three days. It would be wise to rent a car so you should consider that as part of your trip budget. Car rental is typically around 25 euro per day. Finding a spot to park, contrast to common knowledge, is not actually that difficult to find. You just need patience and willingness to walk half an hour sometimes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Largely positive.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Dislike and don't watch mainstream Hollywood movies. Prefer foreign films-current and old, older Hollywood films (before 21 century), films as old as 1930s.

Lily-4-Ever
Akira
Presumed Innocent
Fright Night
Little Vera
Ballad of A Solider
The Decalogue

Books on education
Social Commentary books

Fiction and non-fiction works-literature, sci-fic (mostly prior to 1995), history, etc. Simply too many to list. I read all of the time for my own academic and personal research. There's simply not enough time in the world to do all of the readings I want to do.

Favorite poet-Rainer Maria Rilke

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Dreams
Nightmares
Imaginations
Constructing beautiful, haunting or well-made proses in stories/essays/writing.

The power of language itself for its adaptability and reactive reaction to the manipulation of the reality constructed from one’s mind, experiences, media, knowledge, lack of knowledge/ignorance, willingly and singularly insulating from unpleasant knowledge, and so on. It’s one thing to understand that, it’s another to have lived and understand the power of language to transfix and materialize our reality, and I have lived it.

For traveling experience:

Experiencing a day of Slovakian heaven-just ask me in person if you want to know.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

This is the hardest section for me, I cannot think. I could say my knowledge on so many subjects and possibly modifying/alternating your view of the world.
But that's too easy.

I can teach you what economics in this world is, the nature of our current economics.

Teach/share about Soviet Union, Russia, Yugoslavia, corrupted international banks, history of America in 20th century, and so many other interesting and insightful subjects.

Also can teach you to make the biggest burrito in the world!
