About Me

ABOUT ME
Careful and kind, don not eat meat, shoot laughter guns.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Tenderness and kindness in relations are probably the most beautiful thing one can think of. So CS is a perfect ground for such human qualities to be shown. I, myself, do not have use CS a lot though feel eager to improve but I've hosted a lot of people due to activities I am involved in (bands, musicians, just friends of friends).
So for me it is much more for experience and cultural diversity you can find ariund. Thus you are able to meet a person from a different side of the world this acquaintance being unique and memorable.

Interests

Punk music, cooking, modernist literature, history of film, travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any sort of punk music. Done with heart and with no commercial intent.
I also love dub music due to very complicated and layered way it is made and the impression of it grows up on you with every listen.
I like mostly modernist writers (Nabokov, Proust, Wolf, Shklovskiy and so on) as well as I'm fascinated by the the first part of 20th century in terms of literature (Benjamin, Jünger for example), artists who have written about their complicated time.
Bergman, Welles, Fassbinder, Kieślowski are one of my favourite directors.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been involved in DIY community in my local town for past 10 years managing shows and helping bands from all over the world. Currently me and my friends are renting a independent room for our activity as some sort of venue for gigs. So I'd be glad to give you my experience.
Also being a graduated teacher and intepreter I have decent knowledge to share with and am always willing to discuss any kind of cultural and linguistic topics so feel free to engage me in that kind of conversation conversation. I could teach you Russian if you like.
And as a nice addition cooking have been my guilty pleasure for many years. So I could provide some delicious vegetarian food.
