CURRENT MISSION

Use my creative power to achieve more personal freedom and help others along the way; hoping it will make the world a bit better :)

ABOUT ME

Flexible and easy going.

Thoughtful, creative, serious, romantic, dreamer, explorer. I grew up in one of the most beautiful cities in the world and saw the USSR transform from "communism" to a wacky "capitalism".
I milked cows, harvested vegetables, launched businesses, worked for years in multinational companies, and for several years now involve myself in entrepreneurship, mostly Internet.
In traveling, I like meeting people and learning about social and historical aspects. I like to understand how people think, how things and systems work and just laugh and share joy.

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom is everything and love is all the rest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can show you the city and help around, tell you how things work. I'd be glad to be of assistance!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None at this community but a lot in my student and not so student days, both hosting and visiting.

Interests

Life, how the universe works, how to live consciously, healthier, how to be a bit more free and help others to enjoy life. But "without fanaticism". Or as they say in Swahili, "pole-pole".

Seen sunrises and sunsets. Seen love in people's eyes and smiles.
