About Me

Actions speak louder then words but I will try to.
When I mentally was a child I worked in a newspaper as a political journalist (god only knows what was the reason for that, but who knows if he exists, so nobody knows). I had a great time those days, travelled a lot, had a lot of fun with friends. But then I started to broaden the boarders and let the people and things I love come to my life and enlighten it. And it is rather cool and endless process.
Here are some random facts about me (may be it works and helps to know the person, I don't know)
- I like to start the day with sports. But Champagne is a good way to start day too.
- I am in love with Georgia. Have been in this country 8-9 times, lost in counting. And dogs. Yes, I do love them.
- I don't understand how it can be possible not to love Banya.
- I was producing travel show on TV and educational programm for architects. And wanna make my own travel project.
- Photography is the most aesthetic way of world perception
- If I have an opportunity I visit photo galleries and museums of contemporary art in every city I'm staying at
- My dream destination is Latin America

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am ok with spending time on my own and with travelling alone (oh god, sometimes it is such a pleasure). But sometimes a person just needs a person. In case of couchsurfing:
to get to know the other country from the side of locals
to get real-life non-touristic experience (how can it be possible to found that one unknown abandoned secret place without you?? etc..)
to get aquatinted with local communities
share the experience and to inspire each other (I simply adore creative souls and complex personalities). Sometimes it leads to the new projects and can help in the existing once
may be just to have a cup of coffee and a small talk
Who knows.
To simply enjoy life and have great moments

Interests

Just to speak about everything and to discover the world. I practise yoga sometimes. Traveling for me is not only taking photos and sightseeing, it's the act of world discovery)
