I'm a curious person, I like asking questions, thinking, travelling, learning languages and different things about the world and enjoying its diversity. I try to think logically and do those things that I want to do, not those that everyone around does. I may not enjoy big groups of people sometimes, but really like meeting interesting personalities and having meaningful conversations about various subjects.

You can have a look at my blog http://alexeymt.livejournal.com, where I occasionally posted some pictures and notes, but it hasn't been updated for years.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because this site is still the most popular of the kind. But I don't like how it evolves since it went commercial.
It's certainly great to find a place to stay when travelling, but I don't like consumerist approach to it. I really like getting to know the person who hosts me and learning about the local life.

兴趣

travelling (I like observing the diversity of the world and thinking about what I see, how the world functions, how it became what it is and where it is going), languages (I mean really learning how the language works, not just saying a few phrases like a parrot without understanding them), anthropology, history, biology, world music, walking, meeting interesting people, learning new things in general...

音乐、电影和书籍

Various kinds of world music depending on my mood. I also like silence.

Movies with less action and more thought.

Various books: classics, something modern, popular science, history and others.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Seeing a birth of a new volcano in DR Congo right next to me... And running away from it...

教，学，和分享

I love learning various new things about the world, especially by personal experience. I always learn local languages wherever I travel.

I can probably help you with some languages and share tips about low-budget travelling and living.
