About Me

There are two types of feeling at the end of the day which I like the most.

The first one is when weird and unexpected things occur throughout the day and blend into such a perfectly amazing adventure that you feel as if you're in some sort of a movie.

The second one is when so much has happened in one day that your brain struggles to process it all, and you feel as if several days have passed since the morning.

I try to live my life in such a way that I would catch these feelings more often :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and see places I've never seen before, discover new music to listen to and jam with people all over the world, and just generally to have fun and enjoy my time here :)

Interests

I have a bunch of musical instruments at home, from irish low whistle to kalimba and different guitars. Can I play all of them? Well... I usually say that I equally bad at everything lol. But writing music is actually my biggest passion and my main hobby. I have a project called "Zolak" (Belarusian for "dawn") and I'm working on an EP.. veeery slowly :)

I love jamming with people, I love trying out something new, I love going to concerts, local and big alike.

I am also an absolute tea addict, drinking like 15 cups of tea per day. Hide your tea if you are hosting me xD (just kidding, I can control myself)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to quite a lot of different genres and styles, lately i lean heavily towards psychedelic rock like King Gizz, Dark Dazey or GOAT and electronic stuff like Bonobo, Weval, Sungazer etc. But I never limit myself to smth, so in my liked songs nu jazz can be next to some Croatian post-punk or Lithuanian folk or whatever else i find interesting. I also absolutely love Belarusian music and can show you lots of great artists you've never heard of before.

Regarding books, lately I explore Belarusian literature a lot (and find absolutely amazing things!) Among some well-known authors that I really enjoyed reading are Tolkien, Lovecraft, Bulgakov, Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, Joe Abercrombie, George Martin, Stig Larsson, and many others.

Some of the films I enjoyed the most: Only Lovers Left Alive; Captain Fantastic; In Bruges; The Guard; Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri; Lord of the Rings movies; The Hobbit (only the 1st part); Snatch; Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels; movies by Tarantino; movies by Edgar Wright; Shutter Island and others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played guitar underwater.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positive emotions, smiles, jokes, stupid stories, funny stories, strange stories. I can play you something on guitar and show you the world of Belarusian music.

Also I can teach you a bit of Belarusian language or tell you a bit about my country.
