About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love it simple! I like it natural. Most of all I enjoy interacting new and interesting people. I am an active person, sporty, full of life. I respect the others around me. I am open minded, do not like to judge people and accept any type of beliefs. I love to learn from people and situationts.

PHILOSOPHY

What I know for sure is that I AM NOW. My purpose is to live in present!
I like to read! Books and especially people! I try to be aware that any moment is a chance to be in a relationship, with the world, nature, people. Everything is about relating and connection. I try to remind myself that in every situation.

Take the thing you love and make it your life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have finished my last journey of discovering places, culture and people. I belive I have more than I need and I want to offer to others more of what I have, that is space and a side of the bed to sleep on, a warm place and a roof over your bed for the night. I would love to offer a couch, and offer guidance (if I can) for other surfers to get more out of their experience around this places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For now, all it seems super extra great! I met only good and kind people. I surfed in Austria only yet, but it was over and beyond my expectations. it was all that I dreamed it will be. They should give a nobel prize for those who thought of this idea in the first place.

I traveled around Europe for a few months. I wanted to meet new people, to get to know them and their surroundings. To hear about life experiences and beliefs, and to find new and different situationts and opportunities to overcome. All this via couchsurfing and helpx.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding. Hitch hiked around Europe for 4 months and volunteered in different countries to know the people better and to know myself better. Farthest place I've reached was Ullapool, Scotland.
Ran for 60 km from my place to my folks town.
Eye contact experiment on the streets of my town.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a thing or two about mountains and all sort of mountainous sports, camping know-how. I could teach you about Romanian mountains and beautiful sightseeing.
We can talk about photography, from technical to artistical details.
I am working on my spiritual and personal development for a while now and all sort of philosophical topics and not only.
I am open and willing to try any kind of sports or activities, hiking in beautiful areas or just talk about anything that is personal and significant. ( I don't like politics, and I hate smalltalk)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kind of a chalet in the Apuseni mountains if I'm at work.
Guiding around Cluj and info about Romania as far as my knowledge permits.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Scotland, Turkey, United Kingdom
