Why I'm on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've hosted several people, and have spent time with some amazing local CS's abroad.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: I love films by Iñárritu, Tim Burton, Mendes, Lynch, Kubrick, Danny Boyle. Hope you get the idea :) Music: Tom Waits, Kate Bush, Calle 13, The Beatles, and a ton more. Books: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Kurt Vonnegut.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
One recent thing that comes to mind is going to Cuba with my (pretty old) parents. Although I had never thought I'd do that, we had such a wonderful time, and I was so happy I could help them explore this amazing country, and share the memories and experiences with them.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach: Russian language and culture, some cooking, photography, how to make iPhone apps, and some other things that I will add later. I would loveLOVE to practice my Spanish more with some native speakers. Also, I enjoy talking to other photographers.
My Interests
- Travel (obviously)! - Photography - learning Spanish (and that includes listening to Spanish-language music, some of which I now LOVE, and watching Spanish-language films) - sailing - reading - food - Since recently: social issues and how our consumer habits can make the world a better, or worse place. (e.g. cheap clothes --> sweatshops, etc.) - a related subject: using technology to REALLY connect people (CS is one great technology project that has connected so many people! But there are other ideas too)
