The only real luxury is the luxury of human communication (Antoine de Saint Exupéry) - For me this is the basic truth, which I have learnt for years. I enjoy communicating with people of different backgrounds, but sometimes prefer to stay silent and just listen.
Words that could define me:
Easy going, metropolitan, patient, non-chauvinistic, respectful, honest, sportive, traveler, survivor, developing, exploring, globalist, non-materialistic, original, sharing, team player, adventurous, hospital person.

And I am very curious about facts still unknown to me :)

I am always stuck into some hidden beauties rather than popular postcard views. Can show you lots of them in Moscow, and also seek for such brilliants in my trips to other countries

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share experience with others and broaden my horizonts.

Among all the activities I would say walking is the simpliest and greatest way of spending time, both in my hometown and anywhere in the world.

• classical music
• folk music
• rock music
• hiking
• cayaking

Music, Movies, and Books

Many years ago I was shocked and inspired by 'American Beauty' movie. It is still the favorite.
As for the books, I am a real russky (Russian) here and a fan of Leo Tolstoy.
