About Me

ABOUT ME

Used to make a lot of music (bass, guitar, melodica),
don't pursue it as actively anymore (time),
still get a kick out of listening to many different kinds & dreaming of composing something just as amazing.

Talkative at times, but not too outgoing,
intelligent enough for most stuff, a bit slow and unpractical though.
I can be and am polite most of the time,
though my kind of humour seems to irritate people at times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hope to surf & host. Nothing more at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a bit, hosted a bit, participated in a couple of meetings in Cluj

Interests

Gazing, Movies & Music & Books (see below),
Figuring out why the world is such a weird place sometimes (Politics & Economics & everything else that might offer a glimpse),
I like to go for a nice bike ride or swim in the sun (who doesn't?),
Fairytales & Legends (hope to be able to remember & recount them some day)
Dancing & Snowboarding & Basketball (sometimes)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Too much. Dirty Projectors are awesome. Grizzly Bear, kam:as, Radiohead are some of my all time favs, digging Minimal Electro more & more.

Books: Murakami, Nooteboom, Cortázar. (Hesse)

Movies: The Science of Sleep, Lost in Translation, Virgin Suicides, Nosferatu, M, Metropolis, ..., slow-moving films, Drei, Biutiful, Let the right one in, Reprise

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play the bass and the melodica & explain some things about it and music in general.
I wouldn't say that i can play the guitar, but the basics are there.
Languages i know more or less.
Would love to learn different cooking approaches, no matter what.
