About Me

I don't think I know much about myself. I am not even sure if the self is a single entity, not to mention that it isn't independent of the outside world, so who or what I am is also determined by what or whom I interact with... perhaps it is merely a construct, an abstraction, but at least one that I can't grasp very well. So I leave it up to others to describe me. All I can say is... I'm just a "something" which has become aware of itself being "somewhere". Forever craving for knowledge, chasing after the shadows of the ever elusive "truth". And so I roam the earth, forever restless, forever yearning. Traveling through the forests and across the lakes, over the seas and past the plains, around a little ball of dirt, running around in mere circles, until I can walk no more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's always nice to meet new people and have new experiences. You always get to learn something new and the people from this community (at least the ones I have met so far) are extremely nice.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: 60's-70's rock and metal, pink floyd, cream, led zeppelin, the doors, judas priest, iron maiden etc.
Classical: Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Mahler, Liszt, Vivaldi and Wagner (among others, that I'm not too familiar with).
Movies: mostly the ones made for smaller audience, like the works of Lars von Trier, Charlie Kaufmann etc. I'd say Ingmar Bergmann is probably my favorite director, and besides his films, Naked (by Mike Leigh) and Synecdoche Newyork (by Charlie Kaufmann) are among favorites.
Books: I haven't read much but mainly Camus, Sartre and Nietzsche and a few books of some other philosophers like Hume, Berkley and Descartes, and loads of history... But I haven't read many novels and other works of fiction

Teach, Learn, Share

Whatever you want to learn about my country, its culture and society etc.
As for teaching... I don't possess any skills that I could teach. I have tried lots of different stuff but never really ''mastered'' anything except for procrastination of course... but I do love explaining things! not for the sake of the person I am explaining to but mainly because I always learn something new during the process.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All that resides within the bounds of my knowledge.
