About Me

I tend to believe in beautiful stories.
I think if a story is beautiful, it must be true. Even if it ends well and sounds improbable.
Oh, I also love surprises. Like really love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Oh come on, is JUST BECAUSE a good enough answer?

Speaking about Couchsurfing, what's this recent trend to send copy-paste standard requests? If you want me to host you, please go into trouble of writing something personal, otherwise you'll sure get a Decline answer.
And no, I won't host you to economize your money. I actually want to meet people I think I'll get along with, not just provide a free couch.

All kinds of good music: well, I just love music. Apart from bad music, which i don't like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 48 hours bus ride from Moscow to Paris.
Not sure I'd like to do that again, though. Maybe it was not even amazing, just insane.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's say I can teach how to be disorganised, how to postpone important tasks until the night-before-the-deadline and how to forget things. Guess THIS will be an exclusive training, not to miss!
Other than that, let's say, some macrame, knitting and embroidery (does ANYONE ever want to learn embroidery?)
Writing.
Film critics. Just any critics, actually.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Ha, my ever positive & optimistic attitude.
Maybe, a dose of sarcasm, too.
