CURRENT MISSION

To learn everything I can about this world :)..or at least what interests me.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Ukraine, lived in Canada most of my life, and wish to see the whole world before I kick the bucket. I'm overwhelmigly interested in this world and my curiousity for it simply cannot be expressed: its the reason I started studying physics, and meditating as well. For a more physical description: see photo :)

PHILOSOPHY

Close your eyes and see the world. We only really see the world when we are kids, then we grow up and reality is programmed into us- so we stop observing. We live our lives missing out completely on what this life is, simply because of what we THINK it is. There's a loop between mind and experience: one changes the other and so forth. So stop your mind chattering and simply observe and enjoy. We are an experience, not a static being. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Got a place in Kingston, ON and plenty of space for surfers if they ever need to crash :).

Interests

My guitar keeps me sane, simple as that :). I love to read good fantasy (check out Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss!) and listen to some good tunes. Most of all I just love observing life; just wandering around a new city or town and trying to feel its vibe or just sitting quietly in a park and watching the wind blow bring in a sense of calm and joy for me. And last but not least, good people! and good conversations with said people :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staring at a giant wave as it crashed upon me on a beach in Sydney... damn I love body surfing :D
Wandering through the lower Himalayas during monsoon season as the fog surrounded all and created a dream-like scene.
Getting so immersed in playing guitar that I'd tuned out and then back in to reality, only to find myself drooling :P
