About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new people, get to know different cultures, learn new short phrases and new drinking games =)

ABOUT ME

Hello world,
I am a 23 year old student from a small town which is barely known- even by locals. Maybe that's the reason why I am passionate about seeing new places and meeting new people. I like to go off the beaten paths to explore new faces of countries, thus my backpack is best friend :)
If I am not on Facebook or other sites to dodge university work, I am enjoying cooking (mostly asian style), chatting, going out with friends, drinking... well, that stuff you are doing as a student ;) Ah, and I am in love with waterpipes (except my lungs probably).

PHILOSOPHY

To get to know what was torn appart, to give your hand to the other side and make the world to a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To be honest, I am a CS virgin. Gosh, 23 years old and no CS experience... I hope it will be great!

Interests

Music, pretending to speak other languages by repeating two or three phrases which are mostly total nonsense but for mothertounges big fun, chatting (especially exchanging opinions and point of views), drinking, and - gues what - travelling :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Moomlatz, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Faust.
Music: The average disco shit playing in your favourite night club... raggae, dancehall and every music which makes me happy!
Movies: I don't like horror. Guess I am too afraid :D My fav. movie of all time? Maybe Thank you for smoking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess Angkor Wat or the Great Wall... or getting kidnapped by a cab driver in Hanoi.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am pretty good in making shishas. Give me good tobacco and a waterpipe and I will be happy to show you my skills :D What else... Well, I can teach German and correct your homework if you are crazy enough to study this language.
