Probably the most open-hearted tall guy you`ve ever met.

I`m absolutely confident that happiness, friendliness and joy are our natural states. So I`m proving this by being an embodiment of my views and cultivating inner peace.

All the differences and borders are simply appearances - I believe that we are all One and I treat everybody I meet as My Self.
Non-violence, non-pressure & non-resistant lifestyle.

Expected this to be tough in modern world, but seems to be extremely easy. See, that`s the natural state as it is!:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Imagine a world of generous people who rely on their "guts feeling", trust and love.
The place where you need nothing to become friends, share experiences, teach & learn.
We all got something to give, and we all strive for the same - self-realization & happiness, no matter what we do.

So Couchsurfing is a wonderful place to start with.

We can share what we have in order to get what we desire. No strings attached.

Oh yes, and I`ve been an outsource recruiter for Couchsurfing, so nothing is occasional.

Interests

Whatever I do I`m listening & following my Heart.
Thus all is well and interesting, nothing is missing (except a couch in a new city yet!), so from this point of view I`m completely open-minded & adore to learn.

I love sharing experiences - it`s been a long path for me to inner silence, so my passion is helping others to relieve from their worries.
If I can help - I will, no matter with talks or actions.

I love cooking - can do it for you or with you, tasty tips & tricks included.
Love kids - experienced in childcare & educational areas.
Arts - both creative and martial.
IT - been an IT guy for a long time.

But above all, I love enjoying & exploring the Infinite thing that contains all of the mentioned: Life.

Music, Movies, and Books

In any form of art, the main thing for me is to feel an inspiration in the background.

So my favorites vary - from classical & jazz to modern indie & electronics. From Beethoven I`ve used to turn on for my plants in garden to Arms and Sleepers and Odesza, from Nina Simone to The Wombats.

Adore reading - I`ve read around 200 books, but now as I feel so good in mental silence I`m becoming more picky.
"One flew over the cuckoo`s nest" is my favorite - you can even notice a part of tattoo inspired with this work on my profile pic.
"New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle, Robert Adams` collected works, The Law of One, "The Catcher in the Rye" - just to name a few that seem to change me.

Movies are wonderful - I love comedies, but also adore that "dive-deeply" movies you can`t get off watching.
Nothing unusual here, I guess - Breaking Bad, Californication, It`s Always Sunny, South Park & Family Guy, Stranger Things & Black Mirror (except the last season, unfrtntly), just to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I`ve used to think about myself in such and such a way, and then I dropped thinking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to think I know lots, and now I realize it`s nothing - so I`d love to have those long dialogues that make you feel your brain work & move.

I can tell you about, and practice together:
- Mindfulness meditation;
- Vegan lifestyle & Cooking;
- Healthy Foods, Weight loss & management;
- Healthy relationships;
- Improving your feelings & wellness overall;
- Overcoming obstacles & dealing with them.

I believe that we`re all contributing in some kind of energetic vibrational field. And if I can give you something in return for your generosity - I`ll be happy to.
So during my stay at yours I can become your personal cook, coach or therapist, sit with your kids or pets, take care of your elders, do some home-repair or work with heavy things and gardening, IT & technology-related tasks, or even some kind of security - even as I`m calm and friendly, I`ve used to be a guard in my past.

I`m more into listening rather then talking myself - I`ve spent my whole life with me and never met YOU before, you know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I`ve described many (but not all) of my experiences in "Teach, Learn" section and it seems I`b a bit wordy already.

So in total I can say - I don`t see any borders or differences on a path to happiness & light.
So whatever I know that can be usable for you - I will share.
Whatever I can be helpful with - I will do.

There are no coincidents - so if we me (even virtually on this page), there`s a higher reason. Let`s find it out!
