Music, Movies, and Books

Music: endless list of Icelandic artists such as GusGus, Asgeir, Bjarki, Of Monsters and Men, Sigur Ros, Kiasmos... Just to name a few. I don't know why but it happened that most of my favourite artists are from Iceland
Most of the time I listen to electronic music, but sometimes I feel a need in listening to Finnish metal or Italy Dance
I follow Berlin, Detroit, London and other underground scenes
My favourite DJs: Dixon, Jackmaster, Patrick Topping, Maceo Plex, Âme, Jamie XX, wAFF...

Books: I've read lots of books in my life, but still there are only two that made a big impact on me :
- Martin Eden (Jack London)
- The Old Man And The Sea (Ernest Hemingway)
I totally recommend these ones

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived with Irish family. It was such an experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I do enjoy teaching the basics of the Russian language as much as I do learning the basics of any other language

I'm interested in culture exchange so I'd really like to know about the country my host or a guest from. Even (especially) if it's facts about how they drink wine or beers

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to share my knowledge about my homecountry and many other things I know

So far I've hosted:

Cuau Secas from Colima (Mexico);
Santiago Telch from Escobar (Argentina);
Guido Agustin Mon from Lyon (France);
Mariano Ciperiani from Mendoza (Argentina);
Malte Lund from Copenhagen (Denmark);
Pratik Jaydeokar from Mumbai (India);
Tonci Maleta from Bugojno (Bosnia and Herzegovina);
