PHILOSOPHY

live another day, climb a little higher

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Generally I'm not able to host because of the tough situation with the space in my flat. I can handle in some critical situation but I would strongly recommend you to find a better option. The summer seasons are better for me for a usually have more free space summers.

However, if you are interested in visiting some non'well'known places of Belarus such are abandoned churches or smth. like this you are welcome. note that I´m historian so my experience oriented less to the night live parties but to the travel to the abandoned i.e. more interesting parts of Belarus.

Music, Movies, and Books

Scorpions, Arcangelo Corelli, Django Reinhard, Mago de OZ etc. In general a really huge list from barocco and medieval folk to the music of modern, including hard´n´heavy classics of the 80-s and and some music in Spanish.

Books: Something in Spanish like La cancion del Pirata of Jose de Esproceda, also I was very impressed while reading the Chinese medieval roman "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (Cf. an article in Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_of_the_Three_Kingdoms)

The same situation with cinema. Unfortunately as I'm getting older I find less and less time to read or watch something just for interest :(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
