ABOUT ME

Me it's me, that's it. I don't try to be more fun or smartert than I am. I enjoy life, but I'm not extremely emotional. I like irony more than open laughing, and good smile more than loud kisses. Perhaps it's just typically russian, however I started to smily much more over the years of living abroad:)

I've been living in Russia again since last year, but that is not the end of my journey, I'm waiting and preparing for the next chapter!

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom and Variety. I believe in Universal Justice. I believe that animals are better then humans, but humans are more interesting to talk to :))
I have a tattoo "This too shall pass".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Only meets up at the moment. I love getting to know new people, especially from different cultures. I used to be surrounded by people from all over the world, and now living a quiet life in my home country, so I really miss it. Can tell you a bit about our culture and history, be your guide in Art Museums or companion in local cafes\bars.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to be here often before moving abroad when I forgot it for a couple of years. Eager to gain more CS experience!

Interests

Ohh... many things) First of all I love reading - classic, fantastic, contemporary. It's really difficult - not to read for a few days) And I like computer games, RPG mostly (yep, Witcher). Sometimes I play the piano - better, or guitar - just few chords. I fond of nature, it is a great a pleasure to walk in the forest or hills or seaside... I like theater, live music and art exhibitions. I'm interested in mysticism and religions, and all things that help me to widen this world's borders. I love meaningful conversation, and my first hobby - it's an interesting person with individuality.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately I'm listening music just as a background - Chillhop, for example, or Buddha Bar. But sometimes coming back to the good old Rock and Metal (Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Disturbed etc), or something entirely different. Elvis, Sinatra, Sade, Dead Can Dance, Apocalyptica, Fairouz, Lana del Ray, Weeknd, Kanye, Morcheeba - you name it.

The books, from the latest I've read - " Quo vadis" , really fascinated me, I felt like I am a roman citizen of that age. I love Somerset Maugham and Philip Dick, but there are no rules here, you can easily find me with a volume of "Harry Potter" and I won't be ashamed.

Movies - Hollywood of 60-s, interesting sci-fi, sometimes art-house, and a bit of romantic (those with clumsy British Jane Air).
