About Me

I've realized that I have lived probably a bit more than a fourth of the time that I am supposed to live. That is the reason why I have a goal in mind, to live and enjoy my life to the fullest. Fun fact, I was actually pretty closed to dying back in 2013 and that only reinforced my goal in life. Thus, I want to travel around the world and connect and meet as many people as possible, people with very different opinions and backgrounds.

You'll probably see me smiling most of the time and I tend to laugh at almost everything. I am the type of person who's interested in almost every single thing he hears about (let that be Mongolian rap, Ethiopian history or Russian poetry). I spent most of the time reading about the most random subjects, learning new languages, bike riding, trying new food or hiking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to a couple guys that my friends met through couchsurfing and was interested in creating an account.

Interests

I am a history and world politics freak, however as I said before I am usually interested in a lot of different things and enjoy learning anything new.
At the same time, I really enjoy listening to music and discovering new artists, I am also into movie soundtracks and classical music. I do find music really important, as it helps me relive memories and it's also able to change my mood and help me express my feelings. I used to sing in a choir and play the guita when I was a kid, so I am still able to read music.
As I said, I love to learn about new things, so as long as you find a topic interesting, I'm sure we'll be able to talk about it!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I honestly can't tell you what my favorite movie is as I tend to enjoy them more depending on the context . Definitely enjoyed watching movies like Inception, movies like Your name and Ghibli Studios movies in general.

Music: big fan of all styles and movie soundtracks. If you know about any interesting artists from your contry, please tell me more about them!

Books: history books in general and other titles like Balkan Ghosts, Les Miserables, The promise of a pencil, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived a 2 month-long coma after being hit by a motorbike, don't know if that's amazing enough but it has pretty much defined my outlook on life and my philosophy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've swam since I was a kid and I've also competed as a fencer, let me know if you want to practice together and I might be able to teach you some moves. Also down to teach you Spanish if you're interested.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share an open mind and an open heart and I can also try to cook some Spanish dishes if you're interested!
