I'm Ukrainian sociologist and makeup artist living in Poland.
Open-minded and hating any restrictions, friendly but straightforward, spontaneous but reasonable, introvert but extremely curious about everything. Music- and Internet-addicted.
Can't live without traveling, but always missing my home and my cats.

PHILOSOPHY

Empathy, sincerity, openness to the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"When traveling independently, you learn to see others the way they are. You're granted with UNIQUE opportunity for a moment to be invited in THEIR life - to become a close, special guest.
To listen what they're listening to.
To eat what they're eating.
To drink what they're drinking.
To smoke what they're smoking.
To share their joy and sometimes worries.
To listen to their histories of success and tough periods. They always want to share with you the most intimate they have in their souls.
When traveling - you're immersing into a special state of being, when between inner and outer world there are almost no masks"...

Interests

I'm absolutely passionate about music: I may be totally unsure about everything in life, but I always have in mind precise schedule of gigs I'd like to visit at least for the next 6 months. I adore listening to, playing, creating, attending concerts, adore the atmosphere of live performances, the energy of bands and fans.

Makeup and everything beautiful. I'd be happy to make a free makeup and provide with any related consultation for anyone!

I like different youth subcultures, freaks and social movements. Consider myself rather left-wing.

Travelling: I enjoy the very process of going somewhere, planning the trip with all details, meeting new people, dealing with troubles, getting know new places. Can't stay in one place for a long time.

Social sciences: this is not a profession, this is a world view.

Internet: I just live there almost 24h a day: it's my home, my tool, my job and subject of study.

...all that is new, extraordinary, sea and ocean, furry animals :)

Music, Movies, and Books

As I've said, music is my all. I have wide range of tastes and change them all the time. Now I'm generally listening to rock, alternative, hardcore, post rock, indie, punk rock, trip hop, smth electronic, drum'n'bass, dubstep, jazz, blues, lounge, classics.

Books: mostly I prefer science fiction, utopias, cyberpunk, from time to time smth crazy like Palahniuk, Burroughs. Adore Tolkien by default.

Movies: I'm not really an active movie watcher, but those which I can watch again and again are "Fight club", "Butterfly's Effect", "Point break", "Girl. Interrupted", "Gone with the Wind", "The Legend of 1900"
