About Me

I'm polite and sportive. I like traveling and being of the world. I currently don't have any room to host anyone, hopefully when I move out.
I'd be more than happy to show you around though. I'm usually free Fridays to Sundays.

I don't smoke and drink occasionally. I love great foods, but I'm often a minimalist. I'm not a great cook to look up to.

Freedom is my most valuable possession.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Any city or place has a mask, produced to attract tourists.
Behind that mask is the real face of the place, everything people would call their home place.
It's that which I'm traveling for.

Interests

I work as software engineer to earn my living, but my interests for technology go further than just my job. I loved my study of Artificial Intelligence, and any meaningful conversation about human nature, consciousness, the brain, the future of AI and similar matters is always welcome.

I love martial arts, and have practiced it since childhood. Competitive fighters are a special breed of human, especially those who have found the balance of confidence and humbleness.

I spend 80% of my awake life listening to music. I don't cling on to a single genre, or exclude any, although most popular music just bores me.
Any of Bach, Chopin, Scarlatti, Mozart, Miles Davis, Sun Ra, Chet Baker, Bob Marley, Lighnin' Hopkins, Ethiopiques, Lez Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Guns 'N Roses, Metallica, SOAD, Biggie, Eminem, Kruder & Dorfmeister or Loscil will do. And much more of this.
I'm trying to learn playing guitar, but I have no illusions of the work and time it would ever take me to master that instrument and call myself a musician.

I sometimes spend an entire day (sometimes longer) in nature, making a camp and enjoying an environment with no human trace.
