Overview
About Me
I am a feminist, an atheist, a beginner in rational skills. And also just someone who enjoys life, nice food, sunshine, art, interesting conversations, music and dance.
I say - live and let live. Anything is ok if it doesn't violate anyone else's freedom neither threatens anyone else's life and health.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Well, to be honest, first I just wanted to save on accomodation. Never used that option, actually, but met some fun people around the world. So now that's the main reason.

Music, Movies, and Books
Oh. Russian classic literature, especially Bulgakov, Pasternak, Akhmatova. English and American authors of 20th century. John Steinbeck, Jonh Fowles, R. R. Tolkien :) Some good science fiction and fantasy - Frank Herbert, Rowling, Mariam Petrosian, Max Frei, Milorad Pavic, etc.
Not so good at movies, my all-time favourites are The Matrix trilogy, The Cloud Atlas, How to train your dragon, Only Lovers Left Alive, The Very Same Munchhausen. Recently watched Zootopia and loved it.
Music: Splin, Aquarium, Nedra (Russian), Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Dresden Dolls, Regina Spector, Amiina, Linkin Park, Skylė.
More then that, but this is the base.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Can't say I did anything amazing... well, I was hit by a train and survived that, but that's different.
