I'm going to have my first real journey. I've been thinking about travelling for the last several years, but up to this moment haven't had enough neither determination to work and plan the trip properly, nor courage to just throw away everything and go.
I believe it to become an effective way to uncover myself deeper, to learn how to adapt and feel at home everywhere. I hope to see and prove the unity and understanding between those who seem completely different.
Hope to walk and ride more than I ever had to. See new scenery and smell new air.
And after that, reassure that everything is same and whole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Though I feel myself rather confident in my intentions, I keep a rational thought that it would be a complete new experience and a whole bunch of new and unknown circumstances, and therefore it would be extremely helpful to find some support at least for a few days in the beginning.
By support I mean a possibility to ask questions and get some practical knowledge and a mere place to calmly consider further step.
But also, of course, I seek communication and interaction, ways to learn new people, new things, new activities, new impressions.
And for such opportunity I will offer cooperation and gratitude as much as I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Found understanding and deepened bonds with my parents. They cheer for me and support my beginnings. Now I realize just how fortunate I am.
Found a Christmas present for my cat.
Made friends and spent a night and half a day with some random local cat at Meteora.

Teach, Learn, Share

My stories are primarily about good and interesting people. For example, I can tell about attending local Rainbows and how, in turn, it helped me to get along with myself and improved my life.
Though I have few achievements and professional activities, I will share what I can and know.
I wanted to enroll in gamedev concept art, but eventually lost interest and returned to my regular drawing.
As for handpan - I'm not a skilled musician yet, to be honest, and have just started playing; but he has become my dear and caring friend, and it will be my pleasure to get you acquainted.
I learnt japanese a bit.
And have tens of anime titles to advise and sometimes with quite an argumentation. (Same for movies, books etc, but anime seems to be priority media for me and I have spent hell much time on it.)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Thai massage
Handpan music
Drawing and sketching (not portraits)
Handmade things

Would be nice if you have some household chores, handcrafting or other work to help with.
