I am a Product Designer.

I am a hedonist. And main plesure for me is travelling. I strongly believe that life meaningless, if you don't want to explore our beautiful planet. I prefer to travelling by my two legs, by bicycle and by hitch-hike. First two helps me enjoy every piece of space. Last one helps me to understand another people and cultures.

Another plesure for me is design, my work and my hobby. It is about lifestyle. If we do our daily routine quickly, we keep more time for important things. And it's mission for me in that life — do everything around us more effective.

Plesure for me, when another people is happy. When we are happy? When we do things, that we love. It is point, why I am a Designer. Also I tried by own example convey the idea, that it isn't fantastic. It can be reality, if you really want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing create closed relations between people around the world. I believe, that sometimes all borders will gone. And we will live in beautiful peaceful world.

For me it is way to meeting with exiting people from different part of world, to learn something new about anything, especially about another cultures.

Interests

Usually I think about design and current projects. I can be in the office till sun goes done.

If I have some time, of course, I explore new places. Don't matter, what is it: cute park in city, sea pacific or another country. In my travelling I photo moments by my Canon with 35mm lens and record by GoPro.

I try to go in for sports. Every monday I say myself, that I will running and exercising. Usually, I have enough for a few days. In winter, I prefer to skiing with my family.

Of course I open for new hobbies, and really enjoy to try something new.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer to read classical novels, nonfiction books from different industries and articles about society from The Atlantic, Slate or Theory and Practice. My favourite authors: Sergei Dovlatov and Mikhail Bulgakov.

Sometimes I go to cinema to watch independent movies and short films with subtitles. My favourite is Boyhood and Fight Club (one of examples, when film is better then book).

Music is my life support. When I sad, I turn on Radiohead and early Coldplay. When I am happy, I turn on Funk, Hip-Hop and Antoha MC. My superfavorite band is Arcade Fire and my life hymn is song «It's never over (Hey Orpheus)». Also, I enjoy visit of music concerts, even local unpopular artists.
