About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To comprehend the world and to marvel its incomprehensibility

ABOUT ME

I'm from Belarus, but now I live in Warsaw trying to complete my book about witch hunting. A bit poet - a bit scientist, a bit romantic - a bit cynic, a bit fighter - a bit pacifist...

PHILOSOPHY

Via est vita, vita est via.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Perhaps, it is one of the best ways to meet incredible people!
