About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meeting inspiring people, understanding the world and discovering new ideas.

ABOUT ME

I always want to find out what's going on out there, a temple in India, a horse in Mongolia, a dish in Indonesia and a political figure in Russia. I can't stop that. It often eats me up but it really makes me happy too. I bond very naturally with others who share the same passion.

PHILOSOPHY

The highest state of life is to be simple after having experienced all complications.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and surf. Most of the experience has been positive so far.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was hosted a few times in Russia. That was amazing experience. I saw how different that could change your travel experience completely.

Music, Movies, and Books

Read mostly history, politics, culture, travel and food.
Music includes everything non mainstream commercial, rock, jazz, funk, world, electronic, folk, experimental etc. I play the guitar and love singing bossa nova.
I like independent movies, especially from countries that we don't often get to know about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Highlight travel memories include Tiger Leaping Gorge (China), Lake Bakal (Russia), Rajasthan (India), Bagan (Myanmar) and Havana (Cuba).

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe I can learn from anyone thas sth different to say. I just need to learn how to be modest. Equally, I believe I can teach other people if they are ready to listen.
