I am a mix of science, reason, art and, I’ve been told, more emotion than average. I live emotion by understanding a mathematical concept, by watching a film that conveys depth regarding human nature, by taking risks, traveling and exploring, by watching and listening to nature, hugging the warm rain or the sun light.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I get the chance to meet interesting people and dive into the culture and vibe of a place.

Interests

I enjoy my senses a lot, from seeing a beautiful sunset to tasting a fine gyokuro.
I enjoy reading, films and any kind of art as long as I don't feel like wasting my time - if it doesn't come from a heart it will not enter mine.
Music touches the soul. And dance moves it.
Physics touches the brain. And math transcends it. Or are we embodied minds and math is a product of or minds that are a product of of physics? I'm still computing that one out...
Meditation is good, centers oneself into oneself. Which shouldn't do anything at all. Yet it does...
Sea, mountain, swimming, biking.
Oh, did I mention IT? Well that's what I do for a living.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Dire Straits or something similar like Cafe del Mar , Vangelis, or Tchaikovsky :)
Films: Offret (Tarkovsky), Once Upon a Time in America (Leone), Dekalog (Kieslowski), Mulholland Drive (Lynch), Populärmusik från Vittula (Mikael Niemi) to name first meaningful, random but with international audience films that come to my mind (except the last perhaps)

Books: East of Eden, Doctor Zhivago, A tale of Love and Darkness

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Warm night sea side, no moon, no people. There are fireflies in the bushes. And as you enter naked in the water, on your every move, and on every breaking wave you see another kind of fireflies - living in water, some kind of luminescent fito-plankton. And every gesture you make is a gesture of a magician drawing spells in the water, as the trailing water "fires up" and fades out.

To soft you say...

There's a lot of snow on the summit; a lot in the valleys. And we get down on our butts. And we go. Bare Bobsleigh, no bob that is. My backpack is to big and slows my glide. no problem - I move it in front, somebody ties it at my back as I cannot reach myself. Wait! I have no piolet - no breaks. no problem, i'll just use the heels of my Meindel. Uuuhaa, just fell the speed! Hey, but my backpack, was too tall down when I wore it in the back, and now it is too tall up when wearing it in front. I think I'll move it a little to the side so I can see a bit. My heels are constantly breaking so I don't get tooo fast. Did I tell you I wear glasses? Well, I wear glasses! And I am wearing them right now! And as I move the backpack to the side - a stream of snow produced by my heels is coming right in my face, and sticks between the glasses and my eyes - now I can't see anything, in any direction!!
Oh boy! just feel those bumps, something is changing in the picture, but I can't see it! And now everybody is screaming! Somewhere in front of me. No, wait, somewhere... under me.
Wow - I'm flying!!
Now brace for impact!
Arhhh! The snow is frozen and hard, the glasses fly off my nose, the cap off my head and even the mucus flies from my nose. My body aches as I lie crashed on one side. At least I can see now... If anybody could only help me untie my backpack from my chest...

or.... willingly thinking about the illusion of free will
