ABOUT ME
Hi ! Well, I'm a curious guy having lots of interests. From a pianist, trough a music teacher and a good friend, I find it crucial to meet people and understand them. To make something new each day!
I am fed up with the usual stereotypes that suffocate our craft - about success, career and stable position in life. Thats why I am on the lookout for my own way.
I adore connecting with people all the time, however it may seem to you that I'm rather picky: if I don't have at a given moment a quality communication with somebody, I would prefer million times the solitude over the useless topics usually discussed in the typical bleak way.
Ah, and yes, It seems that I am a very positive person. Thats at least what others say, I guess you should discover for yourself if they are right!
PHILOSOPHY
Hmm:
never ending curiosity; sincerity; knowing by doing; appreciation; walking on your way gently but firmly; giving space to yourself and others; guarding one's inner treasures; being ready to abandon everything at each moment; and, sure enough - love!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Yeah, that's right, from this moment on I participate in couchsurfing! I've thought about it a lot, have lots of friends doing it but I never considered actually trying. Well, now I did the first step of making an account, and time will tell if I will start to receive people at my place in Brussels, in Sofia, or just travel. Anyway, I'm here for the experience of meeting with people, so there isn't a big difference.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Just came from my very first CSurfing, done in Italy, it was amazing and enriching. I urge you to leave all hesitation behind and do it too, you will be enthralled by the amount of energy you'd get after!
Interests
Literally anything. If you say you are a plumber, I'd be interested to know more about it!
However, I guess I've got some background in: music, painting, computer animation, improvisation, composing, orchestrating, physics, history of culture, zen, world of warcraft, cooking (some semi-basic things like a lemon-ricotta cake), piano tuning, history, creative writing, world politics, the art of knowing, etc. I try to find connections between everything, as I regard that as the most important thing. And of course, the sports like windsurfing and skiing that I never have time to do, but crave for doing them!
