About Me

friendly, talkative, crazy enough to be unconcerned about the future so I stopped planning it anymore :) I want to travel, meet new people, to enrich my way of thinking and improve my understanding of life, by doing this. in the end, I want to have some cool stories to tell to my grandchildren :) (and nope, that doesn't count as a future planning ;p )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COACHSURFING

To be honest I have never tried coachsurfing before and everyone is keep telling me that I need atleast some references for people to host me, but I have been always dreaming about coachsurfing and I really wanted to try it. I had been living in small apartment with 4 other students and had no opportunity to host someone, though I wanted to broaden my outlook with different people's stories and beliefs. So I am trying my luck and hopefully my dream will come true :)

Interests

If I were lucky enough to win a million pounds/euros/dollars/whatever I'd spend all my time traveling everywhere. I've been saving for a few months now to be able to travel where I want, thoughts about these travels literally kept me alive during this working marathon. however, if I'm not traveling I've got some hobbies. the newest is photography - I could spend hours taking pictures with my Nikon. it's sad that I'm so lazy when I have to sort out/edit/upload these photos. I also like music. I can't play any instrument, and I've been told that I'm a worst singer ever (quite a few times, actually) but I am spending hours every day looking for new sounds and interesting clips on youtube, soundcloud, stereomood, vimeo, etc. I also love sports, any kind of it either it is basketball, football, tennis or bowling, chess. What can I say, I am sporty guy :) Watching movies is my another passion, does not matter alone or with bunch of friends, in cinema or at home I just love it ! And books, specially social psychology books, these are my favourite ones.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to be more into indie and soft rock (Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Snow Patrol, Muse), then I discovered The XX, later I turned more into electronic music (James Blake, Moderat, GusGus, Nicolas Jaar, Jamie Woon, Khat). Sometimes I listen to house (Kollektiv Turmstrasse, El_Txef_A), sometimes all day listening to oldies like Etta James, Sam Cooke, Bill Withers, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Tom Jones. there is some bands, whose songs always makes me smile and feel good like Tallest Man on Earth, Picwick, Hey Rosetta!, M83, Bombay Bicycle Club, Angus & Julia Stone,
Movies: Forrest Gump, Coen brothers' films, Into the Wild, American Beauty, V for Vendeta, The Pianist, Green Mile, Crash, American history X, Changeling
Books: 1000 days of spring
