ABOUT ME

I like to see myself as an independent-minded (the term I prefer to use instead of "open-minded") and logical person. I refuse to blindly accept some of the middle-class values and to comply to some social requirements of the mainstream and the most of known subcultures. So I'm always curious to learn and try something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is for me an excellent possibility to meet interesting people, practicing languages and do some unusual stuff. That's why I like to host even more than to surf myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so good.

Interests

Software development - is what I do professionally and is also the biggest thing I'm interested for. Other interests vary from time to time. Currently I'm learning swedish to be able to read some of my favorite books in original language. The other thing is bicycling (merely urban) which is for me as good a sporting activity as a mean of everyday transportation and lot of fun just by itself.
