About Me

CURRENT MISSION

doing my best with the current status quo, meanwhile searching one for my future state

ABOUT ME

I was a part of a student organization for a year, couple of years ago, where I met with great people all over the world. The experience I had influenced me to travel even more and meet with new people. Via that student organization, I have travelled several countries and finally ended up living in Germany. Although it looks like I am settled.. I a€™m not.. Time to travel, meet with new people, and experience new things :)

I am an outgoing and open-minded person who likes to cook and optimize things (curse of engineering :)

PHILOSOPHY

enjoying life with all aspects

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experience slightly limited. I surfed couple times during my middle/east Europe trip. It was a great experience with many learnings and exchanges. Besides that, I am enjoying to participate local activities as much as I find time.

Interests

Besides the obvious, (i.e. love travelling).
I like to play bass guitar (played in a band for 5 year but lately I am a bit rusty)
I love to eat good food (I also enjoy cooking, especally desserts).
As I want to aware what is going on in the world, I like to read news about developments in technology& science, world politics, latest news.
I enjoy watching documentary channels, such as discovery channel and Nat geo (I think person can learn a lot about everything, such as space, science, world ancient times-Mayas, etc.)
I like swimming, used to be in a swimming team and did lifeguarding for some time in the States. I also like diving but I am super-new in this area.
I sometimes like to kill watching TV series such Rome, Spartacus, house M.D., fringe, big bang theory, breaking bad, HIMYM :) ahh I also like to watch animes (One Piece currently, old favorites FMA and Dead Note). I also kill some time with PS (it actually helps to activate brain motor neurons :)
I also like to keep my mind sharp.
My overarching aim is to travel world as much as possible and see what is out there!
Lately, I am into nutritioning and body development.
