About Me

ABOUT ME

Beauty is calling for me from everywhere. But also i'm tired af.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, long time ago my sister has written her thesis on couchsurfing - and that's how I learned it existed and started using it myself. Since then I've met people from many countries through it and it helped me travel in Europe and in South Korea. It's a nice way to meet good people, who can share their life stories or tell me more about the places i'm visiting.

Interests

Last year I started a lindyhop course and so far it's the only sport I haven't quit after 2 months - loving it. I like going to modern art galleries and cultural events as well as an occasional party. I've quit smoking (yay!) and I'm not a fan of alcohol though a beer or a cocktail once in a while is totally cool. What else? I enjoy taking film photos (i have a Zenit camera), I'm a fandom enthusiast, i like graphic novels and love going to music gigs, including those of the bands I've never heard of - quite often they make a pretty amazing evening :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh i'm at a loss, i like lots of different stuff. If pressed to choose i'd name Star Wars just because it has affected me a lot as a teenager (also Andor is so GREAT!), Dead Poets Society, Love actually, 10 inch Hero and the grindhouse genre - what's life if not a bunch of surreal people filled with righteous anger about absurd things?)

My favourite music comes from Depeche Mode, Jungle, Shuma, Oasis, Metallica, Coldplay, Taemin, Pearl Jam, Bon Jovi etc.
And my favourite writer is Ray Bradbury.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

USA roadtrip - just cause the american national parks are unbelievably beautiful
A 28 hour hitchhiking marathon from Batumi to Istanbul
And a most amazing celebration of Halloween in Seoul with my couchsurfing friend Mimi.
