About Me

You are looking at a bicycle-enthusiast. Definitely not a racer, but more like tinkerer or a bicycle hedonist. Life will change always somehow, but one thing has been around me always, and that´s bicycles.

I´ve done lots of different jobs in my life and same goes to my free time hobbies/activities. Photography, old school game consoles, arcade games, arts, culture, eating well, sharing a beer or two with a good conversation... List is endless if I really even think about it.

My lifetime dream is to visit some day in Japan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new people and see places around the world. I trust that there´s lots of things that I wouldn´t ever get to see without local people. Not looking for Pyramids of Ghiza or Eiffel tower, but more like a side alley with beautiful wall paintings, or a view from beautiful hill. I wouldn´t mind if I catch few phrases of some new language on the way.

Interests

Bicycles, photography, movies, music

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite Bands: Wu-Tang Clan, DJ Shadow, Rage Against the Machine, Jedi Mind Tricks, In Flames, AOTP, Atmosphere, Crystal Castles, Dilated Peoples, Beastie Boys, Notorious B.I.G., Ludovico Einaudi, The Streets, Pennywise, etc.

Movies: All kinds of, few that came right in to my mind were K-Pax, The Green Mile and Papillon

My favourite book is definitely "Musashi" by Eiji Yoshikawa, but good pacer is "It's All About the Bike: The Pursuit of Happiness On Two Wheels", by Robert Penn

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-I was a exchange student in Lyon, France for three weeks
