Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our world is huge and amazing! As technology developed, more and more people are beginning to explore it. So am I.

I've met strangers on my way but parted as friends. We shared our experiences, advice, stories... Couchsurfing gave me many wonderful evenings. Gifted me the opportunity to meet a lot of nice people.

Couchsurfing is the gem for travelers!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not really a music person. If I want to listen to something, I prefer audiobooks. But sometimes I do listen to some music, which is quite diverse! During my working day, I enjoy listening to Bryan Adams, Hans Zimmer, and Ramin Djawadi. But I also have a lot of stuff in my audio list, like Disturbed, Serj Tankian, Billy Talent, Metallica, Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd, Sonne Hagal, Kaiser Chiefs, Nautilus Pompilius...

Reading is my beloved hobby! I read regularly since childhood, so it's really hard to choose favorite books. Here are some that I've read several times and can call "loved ones":
▸ Nancy Cato - All the Rivers Run;
▸ Margaret Mitchell - Gone with the wind;
▸ George R. R. Martin - A Song of Ice and Fire;
▸ Andrzej Sapkowski - The Witcher;
▸ John Robert Fowles - The Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman, The Collector;
▸ Sergei Lukyanenko - mostly all his novels and series;
▸ Aldous Huxley - Brave new world;
▸ George Orwell - 1984;
▸ Victor Hugo - Les Miserables, Notre-Dame de Paris.

I saw a lot of films and TV shows because this is my favorite entertainment in the evenings :) I can pick these -
▸ The Jacket;
▸ The Thirteenth Floor;
▸ The Bothersome Man;
▸ The Fountain;
▸ Moon;
▸ Detachment.

Also, I adore Japanese animated movies!
▸ Wolf Children;
▸ Patema Inverted;
▸ When Marnie Was There;
▸ A lot of created by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli - Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, Only Yesterday, Porco Rosso, Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, The Wind Rises, Whisper of the Heart;
