About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Know the world through traveling and other travelers, injecting love on them. :)

ABOUT ME

I moved to Darmstadt to pursue a PhD in Computer Science, in Sept 2012. (my little flat has only 26 square meters - don't expect too much privacy)

In addition to my PhD studies, I am currently focused on learning German. If you're German and you come to get in touch with me, regardless of the reason, please go ahead and force me to speak it. (I might try to switch to a language that I have a better command of - take appropriate action if so) :-)

PHILOSOPHY

I am passionate about the biological design of the human body, that lead me to study nutrition on my own. I am organized and methodical, as the rules of bodybuiling demand you to do. I like music very much, and even though I listen to several kinds of it, I am married to soul music.

The most interesting part of traveling is the culture that you're exposed to, and the people you interact with. The less interesting part of it is the end of each journey.

I am pro right-wing politics, I do not support the dairy industry and I am planing to become vegetarian, I do support organic food businesses, local and micro businesses, and all those that are still family businesses.

The sun, coffee, broccoli, celery, apples are among the things I love. If you love any of these as well, we're going to be great friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just love the idea first time someone told me. In fact known the world is the best way to live, and I expect to live a lot to know everything. Know the world is know the people, they can give us much more than a sight a smell or a sound.
