About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Questing for a happy, interesting and meaningful life. One that you can surely write home about .

ABOUT ME

Me? Well, I am nobody special. Just a human being collecting specks of happiness and contentment on his journey to... I guess, wherever it leads me.

So far I've been studying English philology and law. I think the prolonged education is taking its toll on me already by making me very prone to the peter pan complex ;)

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around. Nice phrase. Doesn't mean I am religious, though ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sadly, none so far. This has just become a phrase of the past :)

Surfed a couch in Hamburg in the Reeperbahn. Quite a wicked place to start your CSurfing adventure, eh? :)

Interests

Music, moving, musing, mingling, mediating. Obviously, M's the letter that molds my life.

  • books
  • dancing
  • education
  • dining
  • recipes
  • traveling
  • music
  • teaching
  • law

Music, Movies, and Books

Music aplenty. A sort of bipolar mix of cold electronic music and warm, humane folk.

http://www.last.fm/user/Syrinx9 - for those who give a damn ;)

Books - Many of them. Recently, I've been reading a small childhood memoir by J.P. Sartre and I am pleasantly surprised at how warm-hearted it turns out (despite the irony).
Another recent fave - A. Bechdel's "Fun Home"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Uhm, hard to tell really. Dunno, saw Dead Can Dance performing live on their last tour ever ;)

Damn, this question made my life flash before my eyes. I don't think I am ready for that yet :p

Witnessed and almost took part in an anarchist riot in Hamburg in the annual Sternschanzenfest. Maybe not the MOST amazing but still quite an experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - English (that's what my studies prepared me for ;)), share some wonderful music, recommend books, give some veg food advice and recipes. With the help of some friends I can teach you how to have fun in Lodz as well :)

Learn - I hope I can learn something about conscious and independent traveling. Otherwise than that I am really open for all kinds of knowledge and skills.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Slovakia, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
