Почему я на Couchsurfing
I joined couchsurfing some years ago when I did my first solo trip in the US. It was an amazing experience and I started doing it in most of my trips alone with the purpose of meeting locals through CS. I'm mainly a surfer because i can't host people at the time. But i'm always willing to show people around, and share my stories and experiences, and very willing to listen to others' too.
Музыка, кино и книги
Movies: all the boring long movies, twisted and crazy. I love european directors like Antonioni, Bergman, von Trier ecc. (yeah they're boring i know!). I'm also a HUGE fan of tv shows like six feet under, true detective, game of thrones, twin peaks, lost, les revenants, the kingdom, hannibal, breaking bad ecc. Music: i mostly like heavy metal/harcore stuff, but i also listen to electronica, pop, folk etc. Books: I read a lot of fantasy books (game of thrones) and sci-fi (Asimov, Dick, Bradbury). And of course 1984.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
I slept in Dasht-e Lut under the stars just on a carpet and no tent. Won a contest and display my works in an exhibit in New York. My first solo trip ever: New York. When I landed at the airport i realized i forgot to bring money and my card wasn't working outside EU... that was a crazy moment eheh! When i was much younger, me and two friends used to go into a wood near our town. We went by night and without any light, because we wanted to... find fairies! We never seen them of course, but a night a light crossed the path and disappeared... we never knew what that was!
Учить, учиться, делиться
I can teach you everything about photography, film developing, and printing in a darkroom. I'm also a good Photoshop user, i can share some good tricks on that too! I use many different smartphones in my job, so i can say i know a lot of things about Android/Apple devices. I'm experienced lot of things regarding computers, so if you have a broken pc maybe i can help fix it!
Мои интересы
Cinema, music and every other kind of art. I'm into independent cinema, attended more concerts and festivals than i can remember.I travel a lot whenever I can, to go explore cities I've never been to or go to music festivals. Oh and i really like to eat, and try food from all over the world. To me local food is a very important part of a country's culture! I'm also into mindfulness and self awareness, two things that i discovered fairly recently but have become a fundamental part of my life. Travelling and meeting people from other cultures are two great means to know more about the world and myself. I love talking and learning new things about people. Especially foreign people, i love to learn about your culture, your interests and traditions. I'm usually not the small talk person. I also like running, it clears my mind and relaxes me. I work out and try to stay and eat healthy as much as i can.
