About Me

Discovering the world in all of it's meanings — traveling, studying new experiences and making new friends. Would be happy if I could do something to make it the better place. I make social web and mobile services, organize IT events and have fun. Love the music, fine arts and creative people. If you're the one then let's meet and become friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think modern times sharing is the engine of the progress. People share hosts, cars, knowledge and so on. I also think that money can't buy happiness and the best experience in the world you get for free. I like people with the same thoughts and want to study something from them.

Interests

I like creativeness — when people do something useful that nobody was expecting. As I work in IT, I enjoy studying new technologies, but I'm also a big fan of arts, from music and paintings to sculpture and architecture, even fashion. It is awesome to have an opportunity to see new places and people, what they do by themselves. And I love biking and swimming a lot!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music band of all times is Queen — I listen to it since my my childhood, and I still cannot find any song of it I unlike! Taking about movies, The Chase with Charlie Sheen (1994) is deeply in my soul :) And I used to read a lot of books, one time I loved Russian authors Victor Pelevin, Michail Bulgakov, Sergey Dovlatov, I also liked books by an actor Steve Martin, but nowadays I'm almost reading technical literature and biographies of significant people like Henry Ford, Franklin Roosevelt, Steve Jobs and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not long ago I alone organized an IT conference in Crimea for about 100 attendees with world-class speakers and spent no money for it, it was a hard but amazing experience! I also started a software company and made a couple of startups, but it's early to say what happens from it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Without any doubts I can teach some design, programming, Russian or English language, guitar, cooking tasty meals and may be something else which is not on my mind right now — anyway I love to share all the experience I got and can make it simple for people to get. Would be really honored if I could give some of my knowledge to you! And I'm always learning something, like languages (speaking and programming), crafts or activities.
