Overview
About Me
It's not very useful describing yourself as I believe only be sharing ideas and thoughts about the surrounding reality could the very personality be discovered. The only thing I want to write about is my preferences: I am fond of talking and talking a lot about life, abstract notions and my proper experience. But my endless love is people, their behaviours, opinions, actions and words. I am an explorer and I explore an unknown world of human nature.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When leaving a foreign city after a wonderful trip I often thought that it would have been even better if I had spent time with the very urban dwellers tasting the lifestyle of their city. One can say that cultural differences and national stereotypes are likely to prevent from immersing into the atmosphere of pure otherness, especially, for a couple of days. However, I do believe that experience that even slightly resembles the moments I desperately look forward to having deserves going through.

Music, Movies, and Books
To be completely honest I have no idea what expression 'favorite music' means as all kind of sounds I can dance to sharing positive vibes with my friends and everyone else I happen to meet immediately become my 'favorite'. Nonetheless, some smart guys came up with names of the genres of music which are more likely to inspire me and here they are: techno, rap, thrill, cloud, ambient, hi-tech minimal, tech house and oldskool electronic. A melancholic part of me prefers post punk and new wave like tame but lovely Joy Division.
Detesting mass market movies I grew to adore independent european cinematography, Scandinavian in particular. What is better than von Trier's avante-garde and Andersson's tragicomedy?
Finally, books. Here I can be definite and precise as I have two writings I call my favorite: "The Fall" by Albert Camus and "Billiards at Half-Past Nine" by Heinrich Böll as well as all the others of their works. And also Max Frisch's "Homo Faber" once absolutely amazed me.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Again I refuse to reduce all the amazingness of my daily routine to one particular moment because I'm lucky to have that very type of life almost every part of which I can share either with my beloved ones or with complete strangers and absorb promptly the energy of their laughter, joy, astonishment and, what is crucial to me, understanding.
Teach, Learn, Share
For sure, I can teach you how to spend all night long talking and share the stories from various places and of different periods of my life but I also want to learn how to get the info FROM people instead of providing it TO them. I'm no good listener and I'm aware of it but I never stop improving myself and obtaining new techniques how to have a better life.
