About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to get back to Romania and live there so I can master Romanian once and for all. And see Maramures! that place looks amazing.

ABOUT ME

I love travelling and my goal is to get back to Cluj-Napoca, Romania! (My favorite city on earth!). I love writing and reading about the Middle Ages. I like people who have a sense of humor. I'm very easy to get along with. And I hate people who are distant and don't like to socialize. God gave you a tongue, might as well use it.

PHILOSOPHY

Well, I believe you should treat others the way you would like to be treated. I think life is too short to hurt people you care about or even people you don't know. Try your best to accomplish goals and if you fail, make new goals. If you don't harm others or yourself, you've lived a noble life.

Just some quotes I Like:
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stranger"
"There is no wound greater than what the pen can give, it makes living men dead and dead men live"
"Life is a tale told by an idiot"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not truly tried couch surfing yet. I was told about it from some friends in Cluj-Napoca (Marius and his sister Corina Buccea). But I will try it in the future.

Interests

Working out, playing video games, hanging out with friends, seeing the world, learning Romanian! sword fighting, karate. Favorite thing of all is travelling!

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't really watch many movies anymore. I'm too busy at NASA (they love to work me!). But I do have some favorites.

Favorite movies would be: Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, Merlin, The 13th Warrior, Forest Gump,The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Les Visiteurs, Cerano de Bergerac.

Books: Anything by Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Hemingway, Chrétien de Troyes and Stephen King. I did love "Lord of the Flies", "Misery", "Paradise Lost", "The Legend of King Arthur", "a Farewell to Arms"

I like any music as long as it's not gangster rap!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I use to live in the South of Lebanon. Now, if you know anything about the South of Lebanon, you'd know it's amazing that an American lived there with his ex-fiance for 4 months and didn't get killed! Went to Romania and went all over the place (I love that country!). Been to Syria and went to amazing sites.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't really know what I can teach anyone. But hey, if you want to learn something, try google.com. It works!
