About Me

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in far Arctic, in the land of the Aurora Borealis and whales.
I like to read books, traveling and play music. I have been living in different countries for the last 3 years (Norway, Turkey and Serbia). Now I'm discovering beautiful France. I'm very inspired by interesting people and authentic culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was in the USA, thanks Couchsurfing, I met wonderful and very interesting people from Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. Almost every one of these people gave me something new and inspired for new achievements (in addition, they get rid me of a cold night on the street!)
After that, I had a wonderful experience hosting a big amount of guests in my house in different countries. I am inspired by the CouchSurfing philosophy!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music. Listen, read, how it was created and compose my own. From native - through Bach - Stravinsky - jazz - psychodelic music of 60's...I like Arctic Monkeys.

Books. Kerouac, Bradbury, Ken Kesey, Nabokov, Kafka, Platonov, Brodsky.

Movies. Vintage: Federico Fellini, Sergio Leone, Tarkovksy etc. My favorite film is a "Dead Man" by Jim Jarmusch!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived one month in the old log cabin with the old man on the edge of the land on the coast in Arctic, where for hundreds of miles around there were no people at all. And I found there an ancient labyrinth.

I crossed the entire USA from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean by hitchhiking.

Go down into the depths of the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
