About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking high-risk chances and having a blast

ABOUT ME

I am dead serious about getting the more fun I can.

PHILOSOPHY

I love sayings & proverbs from all nations. Here are two random ones:

1. Knock, and (the door) will be opened to you [Pulsate et aperietur vobis] - Latin

2. Attack is the best defence - Swedish

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted, re-hosted, double-hosted, triple-hosted, ad-hosted, surfed, had drinks, travelled, frantically raved about CS to randoms who might be slightly interested to hear about it, invented the concept of BunchSurfing in August of 2007 when some serious records were broken, and by records, I don't mean Pink Floyd LPs, although those were there too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had 75 people over in Belgrade in a year's time and one surfer in Jozi (South Africa).

Interests

Time-travel and daydreaming are my cherished hobbies. I love interior design of houses, nice furniture and little tricks in the organisation of the living space.

I learn every language I can get my hands on! And I use a lot of hyphens.

Hitch-hiking is also something I like very much. I have some experience in the Balkan peninsula and also a bit further. I love airports and planes, and space, and stars, and astrophysics and I love to think about space, time and all that. So, from these two concepts, it's easy to conclude that my goal in life is to hitch a ride from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan into outer space - a concept widely referred to as the "Ultimate Hitch".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In no particular order, and certainly not in the same timeframe, here are some things I have done:

- held more than one job over a period longer than a year
- stole avocados from the neighbour's tree
- watched Air Crash Investigation on a long-haul flight
- took pictures of places that don't exist anymore
- swam in 2 oceans
- saved an animal
- shared love with a tree like a textbook hippie (and enjoyed it)

Teach, Learn, Share

The environment is important. Animals and their habitat are important. We do not live on this planet alone. We share it with those whose living conditions we destroy every day with our consumeristic, empty ways.
"Being rich is a lie. There is nothing to buy."

Saying "bad words" is necessary. Those words exist for a reason, and they are also used for a reason - or perhaps even more reasons.

I am a fighter for men's rights (questions and discussions are welcome).

If you don't know what you want, the Soup Nazi will judge you.
