I kindly ask you to read or look at my full profile as well as home section description and photos, to make sure we are on the same page. I know it's a semi long read, but I want everybody to feel cozy and comfortable. Thank you (tusen takk, gracias, спасибо, дякую :-)!

CURRENT MISSION

To find new friends and expand my world :), and globally to develop a blockchain based framework for open source cities of the future.

WHO'S DEN (SXIII)?

I am an open-minded IT-guy: I work a lot with computers, new technologies, automation, Linux, and robots. I am Linux/open source software+hardware enthusiast, altruist, ecologist and vegetarian. I've been to more than 20 countries and I know several languages (not well enough though). I am also making electric cars, 3D-printers and multicopters, sometimes I teach students and do other strange stuff :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm glad to meet new people around the world and host everyone at my places :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
My Favourite genres are Rock, Grunge, Ambient, Jazz, Alternative, Indie Rock, Classics, Metal, Industrial, and many others.

Another way put, I'm listening to everything except RAP/HipHop (I can listen a little bit but not really often).

The list of my favourite music bands is nearly infinite (1200+) but it surely includes RHCP, Linkin Park, Red, Nirvana, and such pop bands like Rammstein, and unknown like Fleur or Motorama. My Music library is 2 TB+.

Movies
I'm also a movie maniac. Sometimes I'm writing a reviews on films. I can't say I have distinct "best of the best" list of movies. Maybe some old stuff. Back to the future. I like sci-fi genre and films that make you think.

Series
Mr. Robot.

Books
Mostly I'm RTFMing :) Most genres are science, technology, psychology and human behavior. Osho and some others maybe?
Currently I also read "The Passion Trap: How to Right an Unbalanced Relationship" by Dean Delis. Sometimes I try new book genres.

Gaming
I'm also up to computer gaming: Quake, Half-life, Warcraft, StarCraft, Heroes 3, Myst. Indie, party games, and such.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Norway :)
I also traveled for a while, but really not enough.

Teach, Learn, Share

I worked as a teacher for few month in a IT (technology) college and for short time in small local university.

Learning is one of most important aims of my life. I love to share my knowledge about anything, from cryptocurrencies and coding to electric vehicles and drones, opensorce software and artificial intelligence.

* Interesting success and fail stories :D
* Startup ideas
* IT knowledge and skills
* Cryptocurrencies information
