My main occupation for now (and, fortunately, my passion as well) is children psychology and special education. I used to work with rescuers as an extreme psychologist, provided trainings for teenagers, worked with socially vulnerable families, at an orphanage, and now I work with preschool children with special educational needs. It's my way to express myself into society, and I like to think that it's also my own humble way to try to make our world a little better place to live.

My other hobbies are cycling, roller skating, reading good books and pretending to learn Spanish :) Also I've recently been into boxing and mixed fighting (MMA), but you don't have to be afraid - I'm not that good yet ;)

And, of course, I love traveling, and that's why I'm here.

PHILOSOPHY

Take care of your thoughts. Be devoted to principles you consider to be right. Be honest. Learn about love.

"... 'cause we all live under the same sun, we all walk under the same moon" (c) The Scorpions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had some wonderful experience as a host and as a surfer as well. Eager to keen on! :)

Interests

How to be at the same time:
- individual and connected,
- spiritual and material,
- independent and devoted,
- alone and happy
and so on. So many tendencies for only one me)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books by Herman Hesse, Jean-Paul Sartre, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Erich Maria Remarque, J.R.R. Tolkien, F.M. Dostoevsky, M.A. Bulgakov etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Spent the night hiding from native Americans in the bushes in some ravine in Ecuador. They had haunted my backpack in the altitude of ~4000m with the nearest "civilized" town ~10-15km away. Some funny night to remember when it's over :)
- Hitch-hiking alone in Kenya and being arrested there ;)
- Exploring the wild selva of the Amazonas;
- Hippie-style hitch-hiking trip around Scandinavia in 2013.
- Skydiving. Climbing up the abandoned radio-tower. Indescribable feelings for those who're, like me, afraid of height.
