About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know, learn and try new things!

ABOUT ME

The cliché goes that "I find it really hard to talk about myself" which is kinda true, but I will give it a try! I'm open minded; I can absorb almost any kind of opinion and try to get where it comes from. I'm very laid back, and try to be drama free, and have a good time and make it easy for others and myself! I'm very trusting, until you give me a reason not to.In addition to that, I'm more like dream who knows he lives in reality, so:A once artist who lost his way in the world of mathematics and computer code!An optimist who tries to see the good in things the way they are, rather than wishful thinking of things that aren't there!A progressive whose progressiveness is guided by our human inheritance not devoid from it. A reformist who doesn't necessarily believe in changing the world. Mainly yourself, the world can follow!

PHILOSOPHY

I truly enjoy simplicity; I think it is a forgotten virtue in our fast-paced lifestyle. However, there're times when sophistication is a must.

I don't like extremes and I usually look for the common ground! I believe the main reason we have all this trouble in this world is that we don't understand each other enough. We have so many walls and not enough bridges

The golden rule!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to travel when I get a chance! Traveling is on my mind most of the time, almost always thinking of places I wish to visit. CS does make it easier to! it is always a reviving experience. Also i welcome CSers to my place when I can and there is a chance and share sometimes together in different events

I'm planning for a big euro trip mid March to mid April of 2013. Initial countries are Italy, France, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia, Greece. The list may change. Right now I'm looking for connections, recommendations, and ideas to help in the trip. Hola at me if you can help with that!

Music, Movies, and Books

As for movies, I love Cinema! My dream as a kid was to make movies. That being hard enough, I settled for just watching them! lol. My favorite movie makers are Tarantino, Coppola, Wes Anderson, Richard Guy, Kubric.

I listen to almost every kind of music, depending on my mood. But I love the 80s! great for music, horrible for fashion!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

You know when they say "Stop bitching, start a revolution" I actually tried that, and took part in a revolution... It is still a long way from over, but I'm damn proud still :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about your differnet culture, what makes it unique and different. I believe we ultimately do the same things, only in different ways... So that's what I want to know! In that falls a bit new languages, cooking, jokes! I LOVE JOKES! I was collecting jokes from different cultures and see how sense of humor differs from one place to another!
