Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Showing people around, partying with them, giving advice, helping if needed

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am on couchsurfing since 2011 and I really love it! Have been to Milano CS Carnival party and Greek summer and winter camps, surfed in Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium, The Netherlands and Hungary :)

Interests

art, cinema, literature, theatre, travelling, film directing, mission seeking :)

Music, Movies, and Books

various... but for now
Movies: "The Fisherking" (and other movies of T.Gilliam). usually I just watch movies of some film directors that I like (E.Kusturica, W.Allen, T.Kitano, A.Tarkovskyy, J.Jarmush...).

Books: for now definitely the "Tin Drum" of G.Grass. also some other fiction, that usually describes the dark side of human nature (don't like books where everything is perfect).

Music: drum and base, rock, metal, hard techno

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Charity, of course...
I also had a chance to participate in Euromaidan in my country - the great revolution of mind and values.

Teach, Learn, Share

Show: interesting places in Lviv and Ukraine, and Rotterdam of course
Learn: I'd really like to learn Latvian, film directing tips and some interesting painting techniques
Share: Ukrainian and "Lvivian" culture, I could teach you to cook some traditional meals :))
