About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and pass my exams

ABOUT ME

I am talkative & super energetic, like a kid with ADD. Funny, sarcastic and I like all games although I always lose :)

I like to think of myself as being a creative person and I am always involved in a project of some kind.

I only truly live when I am either in a big city with heavy traffic or when my schedule is so full I don't even have time to blink.

Being raised in different places and having changed my group of friends so many times at "critical" age I am extremely flexible and open minded so I basically get accomodated to any environment and type of character really quick.

PHILOSOPHY

being normal is not necessarily a virtue, it rather denotes a lack of courage. But then again who sets the borders of normality?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

How I participate? Well I try to give a tour of the city to everyone I host, and also try to be as good of a host I can be.
Also even though I cannot host someone I always offer my help providing information that they might need - Only if they want me to.
I don't know if that is sufficient or not, but as I am living in a different country than my own it's a bit difficult to get involved more, as I barely know those grounds..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For now I have only hosted people as I don't really have the budget to travel as much as I desire.

Interests

Interested in any type of creative expression of feelings, therefore art, especially modern art - huge Dali fan.

I am interested in news, trends, music of any kind, design and psychology.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love bass and drum (but not only drum and bass) combined with percussion instruments. (i like everything from brazilian music to chicago house, bossa, dnb, rock'n'roll, indie and r&b) Also I enjoy a good beat with nice lyrics(talking bout hip-hop and rap here)

And as far as books are concerned I cannot decide what to write down, as I am a fanatic reader. There was a time when my schedule allowed me when I would read anything I got my hands on.
Now, besides the advertising stuff I don't really have time for others anymore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

October, 2010 - Our class teacher decided to take us on a hiking trip in The Carpathian mountains. He picked a route thru The Devil's Windmill, an 8 hour track. We were about 20 people so we were slower than he expected, even though it wasn't our first hiking trip together. After 10 hours of walking, after losing some of collegues and finding them in a swamp, after the thickest fog I've ever experienced (could barely see the person next to me) we got to the top of the mountain and boy, what a sight was there.I really felt alive, what can be more amazing than that?

September, 2012 after my first year of university I managed to get an Erasmus scholarship to Girona, Catalunya, Spain. The moment I set foot on BCN airport I felt full of energy, fear and calm, happiness and sadness, having realized that I just changed my life and I am going to live in Spain for one year. Freedom, unknown, excitement.

Maybe it doesn't seem much, but those feelings are more awesome than any crowd shouting, any paycheck, any crush.
