About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To know and understand

ABOUT ME

Soviet born, American raised musician.Music, for me is the best communication of the soul, good conversation is a close second.

I can't just take anyone's word for it, I must go, explore and see it with my eyes, hear it with my eyes, touch it with my hands, taste it with my own tongue, and feel it with my own heart.

PHILOSOPHY

Compassion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted quite a bit in NYC when I had a spare couch.

Have surfed many couches in Europe & Asian. I'm constantly humbled by the kindness strangers can show eachother.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed on a few couches around the U.S. when my band toured and kind souls would put us up for the night. However, my first experience hosting came when I had two electronic musicians from Barcelona stay on my couch for two days of coffee, burgers, jamming and drinking on the beach. The experience was priceless and I continued to have more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a random mountain in the middle of the Mojave Desert with no trail or map.

Went swimming in a frozen lake in Norway in the middle of winter with -4 degrees Celsius outside.

Jumped out of an airplane.

Jammed with complete strangers and entertained a room full of people for four hours.

India.
