About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think that the best way to learn about a culture of a country lies through the communication with locals.
And as I've mentioned before, I LOVE meeting new friends all around the world.
Love workawaying and volunteering.
Interests
I love philosophy, psychology, rhetoric science, yoga and meditation, languages, music, movies, and books. Also since the summer 2015, surfing has been my new passion.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
I'm in love with music. It can be jazz back from the 30s or blues from the 60s or funk and disco-funk from the 80s. I appreciate rock 'n' roll, rock, punk, post-punk, etc. Led Zeppeling, Jimmi Hendrix and The Doors is something I can listen to 24/7
In love with world music. Mongolian throat singing, tribal music from Borneo and Kalimantan, African xylophone, Chinese Erhu, flamenco, tribal music from the Amazon region, shamanic music, hang drums, African funk from the 60-ss, Argentinian psycedelic rock, Polish reggae, wind chimes, Tibetan flutes, Serbian folk, Ukrainian traditional music, music from Sahara, Rajastani music and countless number of others instruments. Make sure you don't start talking about music with me if you're in the mood to go to bed, coz it can take ages.
Books:
I like reading and I read everything. In love with Russian classics such as Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov. "The Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov is probably my favorite book.
Movies:
"Matrix"(probably my favorite), "American Beauty", "Easy Rider" "The Last Samurai", "American History X", "The Lord of The Rings", "Fight Club", "The Clockwork Orange", "Breakfast Club", "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas", "Dead Man", "Back to Future", "Inception", "New York, New York"(1957) etc. Used to watch a lot of tv shows. Still in love with "Human Planet" and "Cosmos". Love documentaries about music, yogies, mountains and history.
Also, independent movies and art-house.
