ABOUT ME

I'm happy most of the times, I have a job that allows me to pursue my interests. I love travelling and I'm planing to arrive at the end of the world (or what was considered the end of the wolrd for a long period of time). I enjoy some books and some movies, usually the ones that have something radically new to say about life.

Recently (August 2011) I became the proud owner of a small house in a very remote hungarian village from Transylvania. I have no more than 70 neighbors and most of them are over 60 years old, although in its glorious days the village had over 900 souls. Gardening brings me more joy than I expected and hardcore solitude (no phone, no internet) helps me find my better self. Sometimes I see pheasants and foxes around my house, I've heard that the deers are also quite common in the area.

Love art.

Strugling to become a writer.

PHILOSOPHY

Oi, no personal philosophy. I borrow philosophies from others and usually returned them broken.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If I manage to negociate with my parents, I could host you for 2 or 3 days in Cluj, Romania. We have an empty room with a double bed. I can almost always meet you for a tea, wine or a walk.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had more experience with hospitalityclub.org. Here is my profile: http://secure.hospitalityclub.org/hc/travel.php?cid=embrion
