About Me

Enthusiastic and curious person.
I was never terribly good at presentations. Write and find it by yourself :D

I will be moving very soon to Germany to study German and pursue my master degree. Munich first, then permanently in Heidelberg - if you wanna find me out there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last summer I was backpacking with my best friend across Europe when I came to know about CS. I thought it would have been the perfect way to add value to my future travels; you are very likely to meet truly amazing people and get the unique chance of being shown around by locals.

I have been traveling India and Nepal for three months recently and I had the best fun ever with my buddies from CS. Wonderful friends I am still in contact with, no matter how far in the world are they now.

Interests

Things I need to survive:

Traveling, traveling and traveling!
Among my best experiences: traveling solo to Poland by bus; driving on the panoramic wester route in Corsica which overhangs the mountains on one side and the coast on the other; enjoying winter in Vienna and summer in Lisbona; getting lost in the alleys of the old medina of Marrakesh; crossing India from South to North.
Future travel plans...
BALKANS
LAOS & MYANMAR
TURKEY

Art
Contemporary art, Asian art, ancient art, archeology. I have a keen on music, too. I would be glad of meeting people who have similar interests. Art is always primarly a matter of sharing, to my opinion. You may develop a personal knowledge studying or experiencing theatre, movies, music or painting, but you need to interact with other people to widen your perspectives and go further. That's the way I intend art learning, at least. But that's true for anything I guess. People are my source of inspiration!

Talking and blabbing
Cause nothing is more rewarding that having a meaningful, deep conversation with somebody you feel in strong empathy with.

Boosting my energy
Fitness, sport, running to catch trains, outdoor, dangerous situations or simply surviving

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a soft spot for The Doors. Peerless.
And the music of nature - sitting on a river and being cherished by the streaming of waters, waves on the beach, trees blown by the wind...Be in love with world as it is, it's worth it!

Travel literature, poetry, classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Reaching the Annapurna base camp at the sunrise after a snow storm.

Watching by chance a whole colony of hermit crab moving to the sea after laying the eggs in the bush, on Virgin Islands. It was 5-6 layers of crabs spread upon the entire beach moving to the sea. Mind blowing.

Strolling on Charles Bridge in the night with the rows of statues standing silent and the mist coming up the river. Prague is an amazing city, I lived there for some months and there I left my heart ! Miss it so much.

Teach, Learn, Share

I absolutely need to learn how to cook decently.

And if you are willing to help me with German, you get my heart :D

Besides, I can teach and share whatever comes in handy :DDD
