(a little bit geeky) Software Engineer (but eternal student in mind), obsessed with the idea of travelling through Europe in order to gain new impressions, see astonishing sights and meet the versatile people of different (but, what is really important, peaceful and tolerant) cultures, worldviews, professions, interests and background :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems to me as a good opportunity to feel the places i am going to visit & the atmosphere that prevails there — way better, than it could be while travelling completely alone and taking stops in hostels. It would be wonderful if mentioned points result in meeting some interesting, erudite people that will be able to show the most beautiful corners of their hometowns. :)

Interests

Android-development, worthy sci-fi (and non sci-fi) literature, cinematography, British indie music, yoga, self-education, Doctor Who, ASofIaF & Welcome to Night Vale fandom, table games (like Munchkin, D&D & stuff), modern art, photography, astrophysics.
