ABOUT ME
Environmental and civic activist. I love travelling, art, weird things. Many things. Authenticity! And computer games :D

PHILOSOPHY
Environmentalism, human rights, animal liberation, radical democracy :)
Vegan since 2002. I believe compassion is more than comfort.
I love my friends. I believe in wolves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met so many amazing people, both hosting and surfing! Hope to continue in that. Make connections, learn from various interactions and possibly sometimes help someone as well.

Interests

Development cooperation, social work, human rights, independent traveling, hiking, bicycle touring, music, writing fictional novel, stereophotography, writing blog, anything that is real and authentic. Recording sounds of the world.

I dream about Alaska, Yakutia, Panamint City and parts of Africa I haven't been to. I miss Caucasus when I'm not there.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: hardcore, punk, crust, jazz, piano, Caucasian traditional music, Russian disco and even hardbass, and even some of the worst contemporary mainstream songs :-)

Movies: Scandinavian and Japanese movies most of all.

Books: I read almost everything from Boris Vian. I don't read as much as I would like to. Audiobooks help me with this a little bit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived 5 weeks of travelling around Ethiopia on a bicycle. Enjoyed 5 weeks of travelling around Uganda on a bicycle. Fed a hyena and swimmed with a whale shark. Helped to develop a programme to support civic activists in the Caucasus and Ukraine (www.initiativeway.org). Traveled from NYC to Colombia overland in 13 months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to plan a civic campaign. Project management. And how to party like hell. Well, not so sure about the last bit lately... :-)
