About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.

ABOUT ME

I perceive myself as a free spirit. As most people here I like exploring new places and meeting new people. As not everyone here, I am not a diplomatic, however you will find an honest and outspoken companion in me. Sometimes my dark sense of humor lands me into trouble, but with my inborn aversion to boredom, I find it quite entertaining. Irresponsible and restles at times, always late. I need people to know I am alive. Need change to see my improvement. And sometimes I need solitude too. I love leaving home and love coming back even more.

PHILOSOPHY

"A journey, after all, neither begins in the instant we set out, nor ends when we have reached our door step once again. It starts much earlier and is really never over, because the film of memory continues running on inside of us long after we have come to a physical standstill. Indeed, there exists something like a contagion of travel, and the disease is essentially incurable.”
Ryszard Kapuściński

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS was introduced to me by my best friend who is quite experienced with such initiatives and spreads CS disease all around. She convinced me to host several couch surfers during my university years plus advised that seeing Istanbul with local eyes is much better option then relying on guidebooks only.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Definately not as big as I would like to. Several crazy nights in Istanbul in 2010, where I discovered the power of social networking service. I had also an opportunity to co-host a few people while studying in Krakow in 2010. And experience one of the famous couch surfers parties with vodka pured out of a watermelon.

Interests

Football as they say is 'all very well as a game for rough girls, but is hardly suitable for delicate boys'; good book as we all know imagination is more important than knowledge; travelling as it broadens your mind; people as they make you feel home wherever you go

Music, Movies, and Books

Hate the question. Never know where to start and when to stop. "Into the wild", "Amores perros", "Grbavica", "Three colours", "Drive". "Traveling with Herodotus", "Game of Throne", "Lord of the Flies". Oasis, Coldplay, Mark Knopfler, U2, Elvis Presley, The Beatles and much, much more

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bosphorus at nite; a 90-year old Irishman visiting his local pub for the first time after 60 years spent abroad; conversation with Hungarian couple who didn't know a word in English and me being not able to pronounce anything in Hungarian; nites at Serbian gas stations; listening to Eros Ramazotti while driving Cantabria; my rather hopeless body language while explaining Spanish nurse I would not stay in hospital after food poisoning; last but not least - coming back home
