PHILOSOPHY

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." - Nelson Mandela

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been on couch surfing for some years and I have always thought it was a great platform to make connections with people around the world.

Now I moved in with my gf and we have a nice spare room and why not share this? We absolutely love our city and want to help people have the best possible visit here.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly love electronic music and rock/indie music. My favourite band is The Smiths and their singer Morrissey. But every genre has it's gems and there's nothing better than finding that one gem between all the garbage. I am trying to collect my favourite albums on vinyl. You are always welcome to play them in my home.

I like all kinds of movies, but especially sci-fi type of films with a philosophical depth like the first Matrix, 2001 Space Odyssey , Gattaca, Brazil. To name a few.
