Overview
About Me
I'm all extremes and just somewhere in between. (if you get the reference, we'll be instant friends.)
Most of all I hate introducing myself but I love sharing life stories and quality talks over a pint of beer!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet fellow spirits with a passion for exploring new experiences :)
Everyone has got a story to tell, and this platform provides the best setup for sharing them. That's what traveling is truly about for me - get to know a place's quirks through its people!
Had some truly lovely encounters last year during a great trip through the Balkans, CS hasn't failed to restore my faith in humanity every single time. It humbles me every time to see people's hospitality, or to meet others on some crazy quest - like two French guys last year walking from Cannes to Nordkapp. Respect!
Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to host at the moment, as I am on the road almost all the time. Hoping to pay back soon after I settle a little!
Interests
Improv theater taught me to say "yes and!" to stuff, accept people as they are and respect their individuality. It's also been the best of ways to learn more about a person, I made some of the greatest friends through this :)

Music, Movies, and Books
I prefer my music to be on the heavier side, but it ranges all the way from Paradise Lost, Tool and Amenra through Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin to random Romanian electronic folk and Damien Rice's mellow stuff.
Every genre is welcome, as I love exploring new music and getting to know people through what's in their playlist.
I love Neil Gaiman, Patrick Rothfuss and I was raised on Harry Potter. I indulge in dystopian novels, and George Orwell's 1984 is high on my list.
To nourish my nihilist side, I've read all books I could lay my hands on from Bukowski.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share some tips for travels to the countries I've visited, or give recommendations if you're visiting Denmark or Slovakia - in my free time I like to treat the place I live as if I was a visitor and always keep exploring the surroundings. I am ready to provide some good music tips anytime, and never miss a chance to pay a visit to a live rock, metal or punk gig.
I want to learn whatever you have the desire to share - after all, that's what CS is about, building up this open community based on exploring the exciting bits of life.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my passion for a good curry or hummus over coffee, tea and beer while listening to awesome music and sharing stories.
I'm also always down for doing some creative stuff, I love repurposing furniture and giving it new life or playing music!
I would love to share as much as possible, but I respect your time if you’re busy, and will be grateful for any talks we manage! I’m open to being social but also respect a closed door.
