About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get into data mining

ABOUT ME

Right now I am in a period of orientation after having graduated from university. It's really a trial and error process that is consuming a lot of energy. I think, as a product I will have experience ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness (is) only real when shared - Alexander Supertramp

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and letting surf

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I wouldn't consider myself a power user but over the years there have been many people that I have met and many great moments that we could share through this website. What actually brought me back to the couchsurfing project was the cool time I had staying at a hostel in Gdansk (ironically). Couchsurfing let's you hang out with travelers even without going on vacation yourself.

Interests

There are lot's of things I am interested in. Funny, touching stories about people, their problems and thoughts. I like to discuss attitudes and ideas and to think about life in general.

Besides that I love to play Go, talk about literature and make my first attempts at writing myself. I'm a lot into the Russian sense of humor. Dostojewski and Tolstoy always manage to crack me up and even reading a single page a day keeps their books interesting.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything from grotesquely shitty to masterpiecefully advanced.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Organising my coworkers at my former research group to stand up against our boss.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to start dancing again. So if you know any dances, please teach me. Maybe I will also be able to share any of my skills by the time travellers come by. Also, I have learned Russian and would love to try it in conversations.
