CURRENT MISSION

Get excited and to things!!

PHILOSOPHY

We're all beautiful and great and all, just happened so that we're a bit messed up in the heads and hearts and souls. And as we live we need to fix this mess as much as possible and to peace with ourselves.

It's like "Be good, or be good at being bad". :)

There's a long version to it as well..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll host gladly when certain personal circumstances change.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Registered for a long time, but since I live in not-so-attractive areas I only got two or three requests (for information or stay) and got them while I was travelling. I heard though about Russian raggae bank Alai Oli making great friends while couchsurfing on a European concert tour. Man, that's amazing.

Interests

My interests are very diverse, recently I'm into mountaineering since I summited Elbrus and yachting, since I went on a yacht from Gelendzhik to Rostov. I hope to go on a yacht from Istanbul to somewhere in Spain in November or December 2011, hope this happens. Other than that, photography (how can you travel and not take pictures?!) and I'd love to learn some photoshop to refine my pics. Recently I'm into running and plan to run Amsterdam marathon on October 16 2011 (my first marathon)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Alai Oli - just recently. I really enjoy silence though. Show me what's out there, I might like it!

Books: Woe from Wit (Griboedov), And quiet flows the Don (Tihi Don, Sholohov), Dead Souls (Mertvie dushi, Gogol), Huckleberry Finn...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently - Climb Elbrus - highest mountain in Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Oh man, teach.. I'd rather learn! But I think I'm good at languages and might help you improve your English. Recently I learned a lot about preparing for a marathon, so that might help.

Learn!! I'd like to improve my photography skills (especially regarding what to do with the tonns of pics I bring from a trip).

I'd love to learn about the people of the country I'm coming to, how they live, how they think, how they are... the more the better!
