CURRENT MISSION

I am trying to look deeper, see what are causes and consequences, make my way in life clearer and more evident

ABOUT ME

I am deep, introspective individual. I love visual art , but not "too contemporary", although very bright concepts underneath simple construction or even text always strikes me right into the heart. I appreciate conceptual art a lot,as long I dont have to brake my brain too much. I have very deep interests in music, for the most parts electronic or experimental. Consequentially I enjoy real parties and true night club culture. Also literature is my another love. Lately I ve been into Modernism. Virginia Wools, Marcel Proust, John Fowles. Currently I am pouring coffee and searching for school to apply for Art History. Also I am a little bit of foodie, love to cook and appreciate any imaginative and creative sparks in vegetarianism. I am vegetarian for ethical reasons, and have been it for 12 years already. I am a bit controversial in my interests, and trying to be in balance with all aspects of my personality.
I live right on the border of Bushwick and Ridgewood, (Brooklyn and Queens) , close to Williamsburg, where I also work as a barista. So, I guess this influenced my life style a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to obtain self-perfection and self-knowledge who I really am and why I am here. Thats sums it all up. But there are some subsidiary thoughts here as well. I am nerd in a way, but I am usually "undercover" one.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to New York 5 years ago. Experienced this city in many ways and now thinking to move to Europe, closer to my Motherland (Russia).

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking, music, art, history, fashion, style, eastern philosophy, Hinduism, Scandinavia, story-telling (I really want to be better in this one)
Teach/Learn/Share, all depends on a case.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My hospitality, which is somewhere between American and Russian one, is something that I can offer.
I know my neighborhood pretty well and can show few nice spots here and there.
I usually try to avoid touristic places, but sometimes it can even be refreshing.
