Hey! I am 25, currently living in Moscow and working in an advertising.

Have four years volunteering experience in a student organization called AIESEC. We were creating and implementing projects which aimed to develop the leadership potential of youth and cultural exchange.
Therefore, I value openmindedness.

Had my masters in media science and wrote diploma work about building the image of an enemy in the USA and Russian media.

Last year I've done Vipassana in Tuscany, it is 10 day silent meditation retreat. Which gave me a lot in terms of inner harmony and being right here and right now.
Still, I like some noize, techno and industrial music. And can tell you about some psytrans festivals, like Ozora in Hungary.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

Work and social cage makes our vision very narrow, therefore If I am travelling I try to go without my friends and people who I used to, but to discover new people with a different view and realms in their heads.

Интересы

Very keen on social and cultural studies, philosophy. Learning to play the piano.
I go to swim 3-4 times a week.

We can talk about Marcel Proust and his inner impressions, about Godard's pretty women which keep repeating "je ne sais pas" and many other things. And whatever is nice and inspiring.

Музыка, кино и книги

Love Marcel Proust, magical realism of Coztazar, existentialism of Sartre.
Of course, almost all books of Dostoeyvsky.

Different music can inspire me, from classic to some heavy industrial techno and psy-trance.
The most beautiful films are from French new wave, then Sorrentino and Jim Jarmusch. Paris Texas of Wim Wenders stole my heart.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Two times I quit my job to start a new life.
First time I went to have an internship to Malaysia, second time I decided to change my profession from marketing to journalism.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

The most valuable is a life experience.
