To tell the truth, I'm rather shy but there is something inside me, like light of a candle, that can flare up suddenly. In any case, I am optimist, infinitely joyful to all colors, sounds, that surround me, life in general. I always travel with my little companion Cathie. Inseparable, quiet and peaceful, we are not fussy and need only four walls and a small roof over our heads.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nothing compares with travelling and simple human relationship. The first helps to expand outlook. I think even walking to the neghbouhood street can be real adventure- all depends of your point o view: to be open to the world as a child and every men, situation, even little stone on you road can teach you something. So without travelling there will be nothing special in our lives- it would be like a succession of gray everyday life with a single view from the window. The second helps to maintain a cheerful mood and so on. So Couchsurfing in my opinion combines both of that things- the most interesting things in our lives.
Also it's a way to unite, to share experience, to unite people of all countries, nationalities in a huge helpful friendly family worldwide.

Interests

As I'm studing sound directing I interested on sound in every aspect of such extensive subject: physical, psychological, acoustics, recording, composing music, harmony an so on. I'm fond of alternative photography as well- based on constant searching- pinhole and gumbichromate printing. Also I'm writing a diary and short stories- it's a way for me to structurize my thoughts, observations and ideas: It's like gum (and gym by the way too) to my mind and imagination. Regarding sports, I'm fond of aikido, chess and walking. Also I try to do my best studying languages. Deeply interested in subject design and woodworking
