I live in Moscow.
I'm psychologist, trainer, business-consultant and teacher of psychology in theological seminary. I was a hippie, alpinist, traveller, business-woman, danced jazz and contemporary dance, lived in megapolis and far from civilisation. I live long-long life, therefore I can be different (and think different :))
I try to make a piece of world near me somewhat better, more peaceful and harmonious. I think that the life is very interesting adventure and the best teacher.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I like jazz, rock, folk, avangard and (sometimes) classic music.
The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Jimmy Hendrix, Jethro Tull, Tom Waits, Marc Ribot, John Zorn, Nigel Kennedy, Lois Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Edith Piaf, Niccolo Paganini, Goran Bregivich, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, many interesting russian musicians and so on...

Movies:
Parajanov, Jarmusch, Greenaway, Kusturica, Kurosawa, Tarkovsky and other art house

Books:
It's difficult to choice, because I've read many thousands of books... Now I prefer to read ancient chronics, books about religion, philosophy and art, psychological novels, fantasy and good poetry (russian, european and ancient chinese)
