About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring life.

ABOUT ME

Just a guy in search of different ways to experience, explain and enjoy the reality and universe we're living in. I have no quantity limits for thing that can get me interested into them.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is one. Nothing is separated from the rest of the universe. And this universe is not separated from other universes. And the spiral goes on and on and nothing ever disappears. It just changes the shape, type, location and/or any other characteristic of energy. Every end has a beginning and every end is a beginning. Current reality is just something we all agreed on for the moment. We are all connected so we all perceive the same signals in the same way. And we can change it any time we want. But only if we all agree on it. Otherwise someone ends up being put in a mental institution just because most people have been thought to treat their perception too seriously and importantly. The craziest thing is to treat your favorite reality as the only one.
Treat everyone else like you treat yourself. Well maybe except those times when you want to bite your fingers of for being too slow on those damn guitar strings...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to travel, meet people and see a new place from more 'local' point of view.

Interests

Music and musical instruments, to try them all. Mainly I play guitar. Learning, practicing percussions.
Building things, practical and just for fun.
Drawing.
Writing.
Reality perception and metaphysical studies; Cymatics (Science of wave phenomena); Sacred Geometry; anything with the potential to extend the range of ideas in my mind and on this planet.
Actually any interesting or new ideas.
Spending time in nature, being as close to it as possible, in thoughts and in actions. To learn not only to survive in it but to live in it and with it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can enjoy almost any kind of music. It depends how good it is. I don't judge the music by genre, I judge it by sound. Anything unique or underground will do just fine.
Movies - anything with an idea that pushes us forward, the ones that don't focus so much on reflecting how things are but more on how things could be or should be. I like movies from David Fincher, Darren Aronofsky, David Lynch, Peter Greenaway, Jim Jarmusch, the Coen brothers, Danny Boile, Roman Polanski, Terry Gilliam, Andrei Tarkovsky, Stanley Kubrick and many others. Also some good comedies sometimes (like 'Fear an Loathing in Las Vegas', 'Thank you for Smoking' and '99 franks') but those are rare nowadays. Also - performances of comedians George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Dave Chappelle, Louis CK and Bill Burr.
And a book once in a while ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Uff. let me tell you when we meet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think one of the most valuable things is the experiences and information travelers can share between them. Some of the best places I've been I found out about from other tramps or wonderlusters.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hard to say. Each encounter is special and can reveal what can come out of it only once it has occurred.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
