IMPORTANT NOTE: dear Turkish friends! I am not living in KYIV where I do is KUITO. Please google its location. I am dead-tired of receiving hosting requests for KYIV. If regardless everything you DO send me a request to host you in Kyiv I am not even going to open it. No tolerance for lack of respect to my own time.

UPD: I moved to the relatively small city in the middle of Angola. I don’t think there will be a lot of travelers to pass by - but if you are - write me! I will gladly host you and help with whatever I could.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and listen to different things. i love how moving from one place to another makes me simultaneously discover all the richness of music this world has to offer us! Still, on my way to more discoveries :) I am fond of music from Kurdistan and Turkey, Iran, Northern, and Western Africa, Sahara, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, a bit of Cape Verde, Greece and Balkans.

Books: Hesse, Kierkegaard, Rushdie, Brene Brown, Maugham, Gurdjieff, Iyengar, Ryszard Kapuscinski, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and if poetry than Rumi.

Movies: I don't watch lots of movies. I don't know why I just prefer reading.
