There is, supposedly, a period in life when you read anything, when everything is new and interesting. I can't deny that it is a grate way to discover what you like.
This is what I want to discover: different people with different perspectives and mindsets, their cultural backgrounds, believes, customs. I want to try to understand philosophies, preconceived ideas, even prejudice.

I am a free spirit perpetually looking for new adventures and people with sharp minds and beautiful ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The experience of a culture is not complete without knowing it's people. And you can't really know anything about people, unless you are willing to share their fate for a while.

Music, Movies, and Books

Albert Camus in "Summer" because he writes about solitude, about the abis between us and the world, the divorce that creates an unbearable incongruity and yet the world infiltrates in his words with undeniable beauty.

Milan Kundera "The unbearable lightness of being"

James Joyce "Ulysses", "A portret of the Artist as an Young Man" for teaching me the incredible diversity of a apparently normal day, for teaching me certain aspects of consciousness, for honestly sharing his "deeply deep epiphanies"

Dostoievski's "Notes from underground", because it taught me what anxiety, lack of love and opportunities can do to ones soul.

Simone de Beauvoir "Memoirs of a dutiful daughter" because she remembered me that I can own my freedom.
