My friends have been traveling for a long time in coaching and often tell me incredible stories about new friends and different countries. At first I was a little scared, but this year I traveled to Turkey and rented a room on Air BNB, my host was a great guy, we spent a lot of time talking, and I also became friends with other guests, guys from France and Iran. Now I decided that I want to know more people, immerse myself in their culture more and share my own.

I like ambient pop. My favourite groups are Cigarettes After Sex and Tash Sultana. Among the directors I like Lars von Trier and Francois Ozon. I usually find films in the Cannes festival's shortlist. I read a lot. I even have my own book - a collection of poems, and now I am working on a novel. I like modern literature: Orhan Pamuk, Donna Tart, Ayn Rand, Alessandro Baricco, Gregory David Roberts, José Saramago, Charlotte Rogan, Diane Setterfield, Haruki Murakami. I love philosophy and sociology and the works of Slavoj Žižek, Dario Salas Sommer, Merab Mamardashvili, Alain de Botton, Eva Illuz. I am always happy to talk about art and culture over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
