CURRENT MISSION

I want to make friends all around the world

ABOUT ME

I'm... Actually I don't exactly know :-)
Sometimes I do things I never expected me doing.
Am I serious? I'm extremely serious about realizing my crazy dreams and... just funny ideas.

PHILOSOPHY

Be alive.
And be free.
Don't be afraid.
And don't cheat youself:-)

And KISS - keep it simple, stupid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try it. I try to host and be welcomed. I try to find people I'd like and meet them. I try to meet people, whom I've never seen before. It seems a bit risky:-) cause it based on trust only. But it's worth doing.

And I don't hesitate to ask CS members for information about they cities, about directions and bus/train timetables. It always works! I receive immediate answers with a lots of advices, instructions and
links. Thank you people!

Interests

I like moving – mostly on foot, but also on rollers, listening to opera music. Preferably in the park among the trees and fountains, but also along the streets of the city. It's better under the sun. But even if it snowing I like walking and listening, and walking and reading. Moving, music, foliage and sun make me happy.
I'm exited about Internet and web developing.
If go to the theater or cinema, or exhibition, then I like to discus it with my friends or any person who wants me to talk.

Skip this fragment with “Unexpected song”. I placed it here just to keep it handy (I visit this site very often and like to have two pleasures at the same time:-)

I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me.

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

I don't know what's going on
Can't work it out at all
Whatever made you choose me?
I just can't believe my eyes
You look at me as though
You couldn't bare to lose me.

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me.

Now no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had seen Achim Freyer famous Magic Flute production restaged for Salzburger Festspiele in 1997 with Natalie Dessay as the Queen of Night.

And recently I attended Dame Kiri Te Kanawa’s recital. I'm happy. I never thought I'd do.

What else was amaising for me?
Being a leader of cinema club, university teacher (teaching art criticism and electrodynamics at the same time), publishing art magazine with my friends...

And... I was riding a motorbike (for the first time in my life) all week long all around the Ko Chang Island, the wind through my hair, the rustle of leaves in my ears:-)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want I can teach you to enjoy rollers or skating (if you come in the winter). May be I could teach you how to survive at Moscow city, quite stressful ambience, and finally enjoy living there and get relaxed. :-)

And... I like to be taught. Sometimes it much more effective than try to do everything by your own. I'm always lucky with teachers. Recently one marvelous skater taught me to skate well just saying some helpful
phrases: Don't look at your foot! Monotony will kill you! Think about who are behind and next to you. Keep your back upright and... - How to turn right round? On the heels! It was like a magic.

May be you can teach me to dance:-) Or, ride a horse, or speak your language, or understand the beauty of your country, or swim butterfly, play tennis...

And dear Couch Surfers, teach me, please, how to flip from one language to another during the talk. Sometimes I need it, but I'm always
blocked :-)
