About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working in my home town (Timisoara) for the moment, but always wanting to see new places, live in new places.... the world, maybe a job with the UN, maybe London..., maybe!

ABOUT ME

Never a fan of putting myself into words... but, let's see... kind off quiet to start with, yet opening up if I connect to the person, trustworthy and warmhearted... so friends say :P The rest is to be discovered live :)

PHILOSOPHY

Since my mom´s coma some years ago... - do not take everyone and everything in your life for granted, they might not be there the next second. Just take things as they come. Live every moment to it's fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer a couch at times...?! Teach you how to make and enjoy some eggplant salad :)(quality confirmed by Ruth, one of my couchsurfers and friends I met in Manizales, Colombia)... and show you the nicest city in Romania (because it is my hometown :)), Timisoara and its surroundings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I´ve been a member of a folklore dancing group for 11 years, thus slept on many couches, sport halls' floors, in many tents... :)
Since then I have hosted quite a few interesting, great people at my place in Manizales Colombia, surfed a few couches myself and can offer a place to stay at my mom's house in Timisoara for the moment (alternatively my sister's place - in a house with garden and two dogs - one black Labrador and a Sheltie).

Interests

mountains, photography (even if not too good at it yet), good music, reading (any good book), nature, interesting people (who have stories to tell), culture, folklore...

Music, Movies, and Books

- 1900, The Godfather, Scent of a Woman, Restul e Tacere, American History X, Fight Club, Swordfish etc.
- rock, alternative rock, trip hop, reggae, jazz, classical, some folklore (Romanian, Irish, German, Colombian etc).
- The Book of San Michele, Axel Munthe; Salman Rushdie; Federico Arteaga; Mircea Eliade; Manu Babescu; Sega and many others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- danced in 'Banater Rosmarein' (German folklore youth group) for about 11 years;

- geot to 5009 meters above sea level on the Nevado del Ruiz, Caldas, Colombia;
- lived in the UK, and many other things...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach any of you how to cook the most delicious Romanian eggplant salad (provided we can find the eggplants to buy) and eat it over some glass of wine and talks. For now. Other things later.
