About Me

boring, in general

currently teaching English in China (2019)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really wanted to write something like :” I broke as fuck” and that’s all. But I guess I have really weird view on how people should have a rest and spend their holidays. I believe that you always need to get out of your comfort zone. I'm pretty sure that people who are engaged in couchsurfing are 100% very interesting and unusual human beings, and somehow will bring something memorable in your life.
The man's legacy is not how much money he has, but how many people he met during his life, and what impact he had on their destinies.

Interests

I love music. I think it’s the only thing that inspires me, and affects my mood the most. I love every possible genre, except only rap ( but if someone want to change my mind, I’m always open). Movies, especially Russian ones. My favorite directors are Balabanov and Sokurov. Also Asia. Since childhood, I’ve been a huge fan of Asian counties, their art, culture, traditions and religions. My whole interest in music started from listening to Japanese and Korean bands and singers. Fashion. If you‘ll look at me, you probably won’t be able to say so. For me, this interest is more scientific , because fashion reflects all changes in the society, all trends and problems. It’s a beacon of a young generation, which is so sensitive to everything that happeneds in the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I’m a teacher, and I know how to make human learn something without verbal understanding of each other. I teach foreign languages, but also rhythmic gymnastics and dancing. Also I’m a volunteer, and I’ve been doing this for 7 years now, and I feel like I know almost every possibility how to become one not only in your country, but all over the world. Also I can cook some weird food, from the cuisines of different countries.
