About Me

I am a traveller, who loves music, wine good food and intellectual discussions. I love to travel, to discover new lifestyles, to share mine. I am an Art Projects Manager and a freelance interpreter at Yarat which is the major contemporary arts organization in my country. I am a humanist, I am convinced that the best feelings and experiences are those which two stranger people can share with each other, to understand the diversity, richness and colorfulness of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I always love the mood of the road, of meeting new people, exchanging lifestyles. I come from a culture where being a guest and receiving guests is a part of lifestyle, something very precious. I myself am always ready and happy to receive guests in Baku!

Interests

Traveling, Gastronomy, New Urbanism, Philosophy, Sociology, Politics, Culturology, History, Music, Cinema...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classical music (Shostakovich, Mahler, Beethoven), Jazz, Indie music. I love cinema (Ingmar Bergman, Luchino Visconti, Dovzhenko, Robert Bresson, Andrei Tarkovsky, Kenji Mizoguchi).
