Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore new places, cultures and people. It is much more interesting to discover how locals live in their cultural surrounding that differs from mine than to visit sights.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: ambiend, post-rock and other different rock genres, jazz.
Examples: Sigur ros, Dolphin, Scorpions , I am waiting for you last summer, Placebo, etc.

Movies: Arrival, The Man from Earth, Children of Men, Over the Garden Wall, Scrubs.
I like sci-fi movies that make accent on science, not violence. Also I like dystopia movies, good cartoons (like «Rick and Morty» or Hayao Miyazaki works), documentary and movies with minimum of action and really good plot.

Books: dystopia and sci-fi (more scientific than adventurous), books with interesting setting concept, non fiction like philosophy books or autobiography.
Examples: Strugatsky Brothers sci-fi (especially «The Final Circle of Paradise» and «The Doomed City»), «Atlas Shrugged», «1984», etc.
