ABOUT ME

I'm an MA student of Political Science, Comparative Politics, (no, I don't want to become a politician, I have simply studied it because it is interesting and not too hard). I enjoy a good laugh (including cynical, skeptical and similar ones), good (according to myself) music, books, movies. I also try to play guitar but I'm afraid I'm a bit to lazy to practice what I should and I'm definitely not a singing sort of person. I also like to cook (not always, but usually), enjoy playing boardgames, football, badminton and right now have been concentrating on epee fencing. Meeting new people is also (very) fine by me, especially when they are open and have a good sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

That life is quite absurd

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and surf, both

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One stay or so with the CS, but I've met some people from Hospitality Club while I was traveling abroad and that was the experience that makes me willing to use CS and HC in my future trips. I've also hosted a guy, so I have a bit experience in both surfing and hosting (no negative emotions so far).

Interests

Politics and History, Photography, Game Theory, Evolution Theory, Music: both listening and playing (a guitar, but, to be honest, I'm not sure if it can be called playing), Literature, Cinema, Art, Boardgames, Science (especially Astrophysics, Cosmology and Quantum Physics), Fencing
