About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do my best

ABOUT ME

Actually, i don't like advertising, esp. self-advertising, as long as it is possible to get to know a person only via personal communication. Nevertheless, i am rather intelligent person. Easy-going, calm, active, communicative. Cynical romantic, flexibly principled... contradictions are interesting. People say i'm interesting to talk to. I am always open to something new, unknown and try to kill my stereotypes beforehand (mainly successfully).
I do not smoke, i travel without pets (and do not have any) and have rather simple demands.

PHILOSOPHY

Do your best and let it be.

You should pay for everything. But do not wait for a reward doing something good for others or helping'em.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Actually, do not have a possibility to offer a couch yet. So, now i enjoy only the advantages, lol.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Italy, Germany, and Switzerland and it was great! New and amazing experience. The more i participate in this community, the more i like it and the more i want to continue!

Interests

Universe in all the aspects, constituents and details. I do not agree for the less. If more detailed, here is a piece of a list: science, politics, art, history, philosophy (esp. social and political), culture (it would be great to get acquainted with non-human culture, but except for sci-fi/fantasy it's hardly possible, so i'm content with human cultures - they are so diverse), books (i do always have less time to read than i want), movies, travelling, sports (bicycling, golf, swimming, diving, martial arts, wandering, skydiving, windsurfing, tennis, billiard), thinking (ah, never can stop doing this... is there any flicker?), communicating

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen the world... a small part of it, but it's amazing.
I skydived; when i was in Stockholm, i walked about 50 km in a day; i rode more than 70 km by bicycle during a day; i rode by bicycle in mountains through the forest covered with snow; some other stuff i'm not going to tell you right now ;) Maybe not impressive for everybody, but it was an opportunity to test myself going closer to personal limits.
And couchsurfing is also amazing.

And here is where i was:
