About Me

Describing myself is one of the things I really don't like. But at least a short introduction...

I am a physicist and a programmer.

In my free time, I enjoy travelling (quite rare here, isn't it?), photography (very exotic, right?) outdoor sports (shocking!) and reading (improbable).

PHILOSOPHY

Anything can happen. Anything happens. What is, is. Just watch and feel yourself at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In fact I was a bit inspired by two guys from Arad, Romania (Paul and Bughi) who offered me a room and a really valuable help with the local authorities after being robbed on the train. That was five years ago and neither of us knew anything about CS.
