About Me

100% generalist: trying to learn something about everything (to share afterwards, of course!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because usually (unfortunately) one can't approach strangers and ask them to share their diversity!

Interests

Well, it would be easier to list all things that I'm NOT interested in... Anyway, let me try:

Aviation: flight simulation, plane spotting. I'm on my way to becoming a civil pilot!
Backpacking: no wonder! :) Current dream destinations: Mongolia (check!), North Korea (check!), Niue island.
Math, programming, data science: I feel lucky to love what I mostly do.
Photography: need a good shot? I'm in.
Playing drums, sometimes also the piano and [bass] guitar: wanna jam?
Mountaineering, trekking, rock climbing, running: one of the reasons for backpacking.
Skateboarding and snowboarding: yet another one.
Running: another one, and also a perfect way to explore new cities or areas.
Cooking: let me do this for you, please.
Being in a good mood + sleeping: no comments here :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I follow the "scientific" approach to music: exploring various genres to get all the diversity of the modern music. However, I do listen to the music I play, which is mostly jazz, soft rock and more recently Breton folk. Plus indie, Russian & British folk and classics.
To name a few: RHCP, Phoenix, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Seth Lakeman.

Movies: these are mostly Russian ("Шапито-шоу" и "Родина", скажем). But let me mention "Intouchables" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw a full solar eclipse

Teach, Learn, Share

Share:
See "interests" -- just everything I know and can do! Notably: speak Russian, play drums, skateboard, snowboard, programming and math (who knows!), flying airplanes, yoyoing,

Learn:
The most important is to learn about your life!
To SING...anyone? That's what I miss.
Possibly juggling.
