I'm young, extraverted, optimistic, adventurous, open-minded and interested in this world and in people. Really like to see new places, that aren't close to typical touristic routes, ready to find something charming in every corner. Talking a lot, but with russian accent and in very long sentences, hope, you'll like it) Very enthusiastic about literature and music, can't play anything, but ready to listen. I like animals of all kinds, especially dogs and horses. Non-smoker, ready to any conditions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in people and their kindness. Usually I'm travel alone, but I like sharing the experience, so Couchsurfing seems as a great opportunity to combine sharing and loneliness, and also to know somebody from strange, different places.

Music, Movies, and Books

The most favourite artists, that influenced my life a lot: David Bowie (soundtrack of my life), Radiohead, Einstuerzende Neubauten, Nick Cave, some Broadway musicals - Les Miserables and Hamilton; and of course russian rock and folk. That's a lot of artists, that I like too, but this list will be too long) Usually these genres: rock, art rock, neue deutsche welle, postrock, industrial and experimental music, any music that made with love and idea.

Don't really like films, it's difficult for me to concetrate for 2 hours and more, but I have some favourites: Labirynth, Dead Poets' Society, Lord of the Rings, Only Lovers Left Alive

I read a lot of books, but the most important for me are these ones: Fahrenheit 451, L'Etranger, Stranger in a Strange Land, Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, books of Terry Pratchett and Strugatskie Brothers, russian poetry of XXth century. Also I love some classic books: Bulgakov, Hugo, Camus, russian literature. And of course, I'm fantasy and sci-fi fan: always ready to talk about the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrell, The Song of Ice and Fire, Harry Potter and other fantasy or sci-fi books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16, I had left my home for studying in other city and living alone, and I'm proud of that fact, that I've managed to become independent at that age.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you a lot about russian literature and culture, world philosophy, sociology, early history of United States, and I can try to teach you something in Russian or Belarusian.
And for myself, I want to improve my German and to try keep conservation in foreign language with living people ;)
