About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live in in france

ABOUT ME

Always optimist that's me. Otherwise i'm really calm and in the most cases I'm not the nervous kind of people. I always try to find the golden mean, I'm not a extreme person, I don't really have a hot temperamantum, nevertheless I'm not a fish :).
Probably that's why ,climbing ,traveling, finding my way in foreign places are the things I enjoy the most and those are the things that, give me the amount of stress that is necessary for living the life worthily.
The best thing for me to give and receive. Sometimes I get something (a helping hand, a good word, or an encouraging gesture) in the most desperate situations, and this is what I thrive to response in the direction of other strangers, and any other people. I also like to speak with people whom I dont have a common language to share with, so we have to to patch it together from the languages we know.It's really funny, and actually it can work.

PHILOSOPHY

To live and let live.
To be open to the world, and to the other people, because every stranger gives you an another point of view to the life, and I like to see things from all of the possible aspects . That's the way how we can really know, appreciate each other,i think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Officially (in the terms of couchsurfing.com) I only couchsurfed once, in Boston, but I did sleep at a lot of different people's place and shared the living space
I did/doing a lot of things wich has the similar spirituality. I hitchike a lot, I use carpooling, and I've been guest of half-known good peoples. I've never had a bad experince yet.
I love these things, because even the most boring people is more interesting than a busride, or a night in a hotel alone, and there is only few more better things than the feeling when somebody stops in the dark night 300km from your home, and then takes you exactly where you want to be (home).

Interests

Climbing (rocks, blocs, trees, buildings, indoor),traveling, music festivals, partying, surfing.
I like maps.And to compare the maps with the real world.It's always surprising, and always different than I imagined.
Politics and history.
I love to learn about cultures and their histories from the peoples who are living inside of them.It's always more interesting than reading them in books (despite of my love of books). For example I've never knew that cricket games can have several meal breaks, or I would've never tried svedish "snuss"...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A flood in Transylvania.The river rose 5 meters during 2 hours.We had to save our tents,cars and stuff really fast.
Last summer, I got a ride from two gypsy pimps who are trading girls from Hungary to Italy, that was an interesting, and a bit terrifying ride.
