I'm a 27-year-old guy born in Romania. In my teens, I went to school in Romania and Ireland. Studied also in the US for 1 year in Connecticut at UCONN and Ghent, Belgium for one semester. Currently, I'm living in Stockholm, Sweden for over 3 years. So far I've visited 4 continents: N America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

The best words to describe me are relentless and permanently curious. I like exploring the world and ideas with interesting people. I wrote a book in 2017 about the lessons I got from traveling to over 30 countries and it became a bestseller on Amazon for a few weeks.

If you're passionate about food, gym life, art, business, photography, nonfiction books then we have a lot to share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet new people and get a better feeling of the local culture. I honestly hate being a tourist and doing mainstream tourist stuff but I do love knowing and seeing the interesting places and activities that only a local would know.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all-time favorite series is Rocky (except Rocky V).

Runner-ups are John Wick, any Marvel movie and Rick, and Morty.

I've read over 300 books, mostly non-fiction, so picking just one is a little bit difficult but I could go with "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle as a good book any day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a 10-day silent meditation retreat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've lived in 6 countries so far (Romania, USA, Belgium, Spain, Ireland, Sweden) and visited 38 in total on 4 continents. I love soaking in different cultures so I love sharing experiences and ideas with other people. I definitely consider myself a citizen of the world and I'm not identified with any specific country as my own.

I worked as a bartender, software developer, NGO manager, business analyst and now I'm running my own business remotely. If you're passionate about marketing, advertising, human psychology, personal development then we have a lot we can talk about. ;)

I love baking although I try to avoid sweets as much as I can, but I find the activity very mindful and creative.
