CURRENT MISSION

Conquer the world and destroy all the TVs

This is what I do: http://lostrego.tictail.com/

After traveling for many years, I am now trying to settle down and work as an artist and enterpreneur, selling my jewellery online and participating in ceramic art event and exhibitions.

Before that:

I grew up in Russia - a scary place. But I survived.
I left my parents home when I was 16 and went to Lithuania. There I have studied Orientalism (Indian languages and culture) for my bachelor. My everyday routine were fairytales in sanskrit - difficult but inspiring.

After university i realized it was too much of grey climate for me. I hitchhiked around without money and fell in love with Spain and lived there for three years. I studied Artistic Ceramics and worked at Montessori school in Cadiz.

Two years ago I decided to start a project: make ceramic amulets in every country and selll or exchange it on the street, through the web, in the cars while hitchhking and everywhere else.

PHILOSOPHY

buddhism, hedonism, paganism, love, freedom, laughs, shamans

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I welcome you in my place, in my road and in my soul, if you are a right person!!!

I think that the family concept is much wider than people normally imagine, and you can meet people from your spiritual family literally everywhere. It keeps happening to me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Im kinda tired and sick of boring, non personal, clichae couchsurfing requests. This is why you can see that my response rate is miserable. Would you reply to fifteen request a day if all of them where the same ?

I can teach you some spanish, as I love doing that!
I also LOVE cooking and I definitely enjoy cooking for my hosts.
Of course I can help you with your house duties.
I can draw flowers and animals on your walls if you let me to.
I can give you ceramic amulet that brings you luck and joy.
I can write your name in Sanskrit and teach you some magic words.
