My name is Roma! I'm kinda bad actor and not talanted musician...
And now i'm on my way to become a theater director.

I really into contemporary way of Theater, movies and music, that's why i've alredy quit my conservative Theater Academy two times..

UPD: I've startet to study as a Theater Director this year (YES, third time in my "beloved" Academy from the very beginning..^^)
But now it is my rules!

I've completed hitch-hiking journey Russia-Portugal-Russia through 17 countries of Europe last autumn
(yes, that was almost 15000 km and it tooks more than 2 months)

And hitch-hiked around the Baltic Sea)

I believe that i'm very openmind and easygoing person:)
Ohh...
It's so hard to give discription for myself.. Let's just meet?

P.S. my instagram for feeling my vibe: romantik_ivanov

P.P.S. oh, yes, in my imagination i'm professional basketball player!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world, i want to meet new people and i want to change the way i used to live
I believe that the only chance to get deeper in the country's atmosphere is to get to know the people who live there. I mean - go out for a beer or coffe with a deep conversation is much more interesting than just crazy touristic sightseeing

Interests

I'm interested in everything new, ofcourse..
But mostly it is Theater, Movies, different cultures and Music.
Ok, that's all kind of arts..
But! I think that music is the second greatest thing in the world!
After that goes theater, movies and sports (i'm in love with basketball)

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh, this is a limitless topic:)
Music is the best thing in the world (after Love, of course)! AnnenMayKatereit, Alt-j, Aurora, Therapie Taxi and La Femme, RHCP, AM, Eminem, Twenty one pilots, all indie rock... and neo-classic, like modern opera (Philip Glass and etc)!

I'm really into live music, jam sessions and all the places, where i can hear musical instruments.

My favourite film directors used to be Wes Anderson and Jaco van Dormael, but now i'm just crazy about Paolo Sorrentino and Roy Andersson. Also about several good russian directors (Kirill Serebrennikov).
Ofcourse Tarantino is the gold classic!)

But i have favorite movies from Art-house (Lars von Trier) to Oscar's list (Scorcese and so one..))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything what we've made or saw started with Love. And i believe that love is in everything, so if you can see this -- all things and acts will become great. This is kind of my philosophy.
(If you are intersted, i can tell you about craziest romantic acts which i've made for my Beatrice, maybe that are the best things what i've done..)
Or just my hitchiking trips through the Europe:D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give you some ukulele lessons
I can teach you juggeling ! (or walk on hands maybe))
So, all my knowledge from Theater Academy is your knowledge)
I can share survival experience in Russia - sometimes that's really funny.
Also If you want to now something about music and art in russia - we will have long ineteresting conversation:)
Anyway i'm really interested in your culture, in your music and the way you live!

By the way, I'm actually collecting not-known local music bands

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell you a lot of intersting about life in Russia and discuss other countries. Talks about art and philosophy is my everything!
Also i can help with some housework or just make up a pleasant company)

P.S. i just started learning to cook,so if you have never tried and are not afraid to try some traditional food prepared by me, we can think about it..))
