I'm a happy optimistic person who looks at the world with open eyes, open mind and open heart. Calm and peaceful.

I'm vegan, not drinking any alcohol and not smoking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies. I prefer movies that makes you feel, that make you think and/or spin you in a whirlpool of events. Something like "Samsara" by Ron Fricke, "Ashes and Snow" film by Gregory Colbert, "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring" by Kim Ki-duk, "Dolls" by Takeshi Kitano, "3 idiots" by Rajkumar Hirani, "Babusya" by Lidiya Bobrova, or "La Migration Bigoudenn" short film.

Music. Almost every genre has something great. Lately I listen mainly to Chinese traditional and European classic music. Sometimes also jazz, lounge and world music.

Books. My favorite ones are "Hackers and Painters" by Paul Graham, "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle and "The 7 Myths about Love... Actually!" by Mike George. I also highly enjoyed reading "Debt: The First 5,000 Years" by David Graeber. All of those listed feel reader's brain the same as body feels having a massage.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking and would be glad to share my favorite recipes, especially in Russian, Indian cuisines and a variety of pastry.

Russian language, programming languages, some of computer technologies, playing mouth harp, meditation, some healing techniques are the other things coming to my mind I could share.

I can learn basics of Weiqi (Go) game, play different board games. I can make a Chinese tea ceremony.

And I'm open to learn almost anything new you're excited about.
