My name is Slawa. I'm 27 years old, originally from Russia but since 2014 I live in Berlin. Currently I work as Product Owner in IT company and passionately do cinema.
When a person is a small child, everything, the whole world seems to him beautiful, awesome, he or she looks at it with curiosity, notices every detail, asks a lot of questions. But when you are growing older, all this curiosity disappears somewhere gradually, the place of the daily discovery routine comes. Many people (not all, but many) spend precious time and spend their lives in the way they heard somewhere. Career, stability, money - these are important attributes of adult life, but you can not forget about the wonderful world that surrounds us. You may not grow up fully, it is necessary to have this child-curiosity and the passion for new knowledge. Anyone who grew up but remain a child -understood the life.
When I was little boy, my parents red me a lot of adventures books. At that time, I got a dream - to travel all the world. I grew up and realized that the world is unimaginably great, and my dream is practically impossible to achieve. But human is a very stubborn creature and at the same time I understood that you can try to get close to impossible things. Every journey - it's a small step to a genuine childhood dream. To my dream. I hope these small steps will repeat again and again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel and meet new people enable to make our life colorful, so make us child-happy. Couchsurfing - a place where you can find like-minded people to share experiences and get new friends. I like to talk on all topics. You never know for sure how this or that conversation affects you.

Interests

I like the many-sided development of the human, diversity. As the saying goes: "Do not worry that will not work, be afraid, not to try." I try as much as possible, to follow this rule.
I enjoy sports. From 5 to 17 years I have been playing ice hockey. Then I did boxing. Now I do grappling (BJJ) and try to keep myself in good shape - doing in the gym, in the summer frequently going with friends and play a variety of sports: basketball, volleyball, football.
With pleasure I read different books (mostly fiction), watch films and listen to music, so I would like to speak about every piece of art
