CURRENT MISSION

To understand

ABOUT ME

Born in Moscow, I moved to Israel when I was 4 years old. This makes me sufficiently Israeli and, since my parents are very much Russian, sufficiently Russian.
While growing up my main occupations were math and music. After serving in the army and traveling in South America, China and Europe I went on to study architecture.
It's my second year out of lifetime of architecture and it takes most of my time. At my little spare time I also teach math.

I'm very friendly, or atleast I consider myself as such. I know that I mean well, I have very high moral standards.

More to the point, you will have troubles finding a topic of conversation that I will not be able to participate in. (feel free to talk about football first of all)

I find the mission of describing yourself very misleading. I see no point of saying bad stuff about myself. I'm the best, really!

PHILOSOPHY

Anyone should do something which will allow him to say "I did it, and earned my place"

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing, hosting, meeting, talking.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I Surfed with people in Argentina, China Hong Kong and Italy and it was much better then just hosteling because you get to meet cool people and learn their culture. I hosted a few times and I love showing people around.

兴趣

Since I began studying architecture I have a rapidly growing interest in all sorts of arts, especially drawing. Ofcourse, architecture itself is my main interest.
I'm very interested in History and Geography, also I love reading a lot of books, mainly classic ones.
I love cinema of all kinds and especially interested in finding those rare quality off-stream movies.
I like football (soccer) very much, I watch it all the time, mostly interested in the Spanish league and the Champions League.
I play on the Piano for most of my life and I also play some other instruments on a more basic level.
I love classical music (I've played in an orchestra when I was younger) and enjoy listening to it once in a while.
