Creative and Enthusiastic. Sometimes eccentric :)
They say I'm younger than my biological age, and it's not bad I think ;)

I'm fond of ancient cultures and civilizations
Skilled in drawing and was an illustrator for several years.

Take part in Living-action Roleplaying Games activities from 1996.
Playing in the theatre and some other actoring creative projects.
Like to communicate with children.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my opinion it is useless to live in hotels while travelling.
Native family is the best choice - meaning home-comfort and region-learning.

Music, Movies, and Books

Last years I am not much fond of audio, but usually I listen ethnic stuff (Nordic, Caucasian, Peruvian and so on).

I like Soviet cinematography. Concerning US movies, I prefer something deep and interesting, like "Interstate 60", "Inception", "Anger Managment", "Transcendence" or "Dead Man".
My favorite serials are "Good Omens", "The Librarians", "X-Files", "Fringe" and "Legend of the Seeker". I like scientific video as well, like "One Strange Rock".

Last 10 years I oftenly read scholar stuff on my field,
but once I was very fond of SF (Strugatskie brothers, Sheckley etc.)
and Fantasy, starting with Professor J.R.R.Tolkien... Post-Soviet writers of above-mentioned genres are too numerous to name all of them.
Alternative history by S. Clarke or N. Stephenson also made great impression on me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* I wrote a study-guide on world-wide death-beliefs

* As a child of 4 years old I dreamed to become a pirate. Well, dreams usually come true... :)

Teach, Learn, Share

* I'm eager to have travelling experience exchange.

* Looking to find out new cultural peculiarities of different regions.
As for me, I can share my knowledges on past societies and civilizations.
