Hello! I live in Berlin and love meeting new people, discovering new perspectives, and sharing meaningful conversations.

I work professionally in fashion, graphic and web design. You can find an overview of my projects and background on my personal website: https://006080.github.io/CV/. It’s more like a CV and portfolio than a commercial space — I share it simply as context, not as an offer or promotion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to connect with inspiring, curious, respectful people — for coffee, walks, cultural exchange, and good conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

🎧 Sound & Silence
I really appreciate quiet moments—sometimes the best soundtrack is just birds or total silence. But when I’m in the mood for music, I go for atmospheric and experimental sounds:
• Darkside
• Marie Davidson
• Skywatchers
• Pyrit
• L.F.T.

🎬 Cinema & Visual Inspiration
Cinema is my main source of visual fuel. I lean towards films that are atmospheric, surreal, or philosophically heavy. If you’ve seen these, we’ll have a lot to talk about:

• Arizona Dream (1993) — one of my all-time favorites.
A surreal, poetic road movie that starts in the Arctic and slowly turns into a dream about freedom, love, and beautiful human madness. Not about the plot — about the feeling.

• Andrei Tarkovsky: His work is the gold standard for me. The way he handles time, memory, and nature in films like Stalker or Nostalghia is pure visual poetry.

• Yorgos Lanthimos: I love his entire filmography—from the clinical absurdity of The Lobster to the incredible art direction in Poor Things.

• Arrebato (Iván Zulueta): A cult classic about the dark, psychedelic obsession with filmmaking.

• World on a Wire (Fassbinder): A 70s vision of virtual reality. Being in IT, I find its retro-futuristic aesthetic and questions about simulation fascinating.

• The Turin Horse (Béla Tarr): Pure, heavy minimalism.

• Donbass (Sergei Loznitsa): For its raw, uncompromising documentary-style storytelling.

• Don’t Look Now (Nicolas Roeg): A masterclass in atmosphere and visual editing.

📚 On my Bookshelf
Reading is where I get my patience and my perspective. My taste in literature is quite diverse, ranging from epic historical dramas to sharp contemporary prose:

• Thomas Mann: I’m fascinated by his entire body of work. The way he dissects European culture and the human psyche in books like The Magic Mountain or Doctor Faustus is incredible.

• Mikhail Sholokhov & Valentin Pikul: I have a deep respect for these authors. Sholokhov’s raw epic scale and Pikul’s ability to bring history to life with such energy are always captivating.

• Julia Kissina: On the complete opposite side, I love her avant-garde, surreal, and often provocative style. It’s fresh and fits perfectly with my love for experimental art.

Teach, Learn, Share

• Fashion Insights: We can discuss trends, the future of the industry, or even brainstorm some creative concepts together.

• Cultural Exchange: I can tell you about life in the countries I’ve lived in and, of course, show you the most authentic, non-touristy parts.

• Deep Dives: If you want to discuss a Tarkovsky film or a Thomas Mann novel over a glass of wine or tea, I’m definitely your person.

What I’m looking to learn:
• I’m always curious about new creative tools, unique life stories, or any underground art/music recommendations you might have.

• If you know how to cook a traditional dish from your home country, I’d love to learn the recipe!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My World: Tech, Design & Fashion
I’m one of those people who loves the intersection of Tech and Design. I spend a lot of my time in the IT sphere, but I’ve always been driven by aesthetics. To me, code and visual design are just two different ways of solving the same puzzle.
My real obsession, though, is Fashion. I don’t just see it as clothes; I see it as a form of communication. Because of my background, I’m constantly looking at how technology and design are changing the way we wear and create things.
Let’s build something?
I love meeting people who don't just "talk" but actually "do." If you’re into fashion, digital art, or tech, I’d love to do more than just share a meal. I’m always down to brainstorm, collaborate on a mood board, or even kickstart a spontaneous project together if we share the same vision.
