About Me

I'm enthusiastic about a lot of things, I like to meet new people, add a little magic to mundane things and try new things. I'm one of those people who always whistle or sings something while walking, I believe that it helps to fill the world with music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel, discover new places, new cultures and make friends. I believe couchsurfing is the best place for this kind of experience exchange. I like to hang out with people and believe that best way to see the city is with the eyes of person who lives there.

Interests

One of biggest ones is music. I love playing guitar and singing and recently developed liking to ukulele. Currently I'm mostly into 70s and 80s rock music. I occasionally enjoy jazz and classic music, but generally know nothing about it. Hope to learn to play piano and write music album one day.

I love scientifically popular things like space, black holes and just interesting mind boggling concepts that can help us see world around us in a new light.

I like movies and especially cartoons, sometimes anime. Now it's difficult to find time to watch those, but I still enjoy a good movie or cartoon once in a while. Also have a small dream to voice act actor in a cartoon, I love speaking in funny voices.

I always enjoy a good book. Trying to shift focus from movies to books. Since recently I try to focus on philosophy and self development but always mix it up with some light read to take my mind off.

I like board games, especially Dungeons and Dragons or D&D (nerd alert). I consider it one of the best forms of gaming because when used correctly it's pure goodness.

I like coffee a lot. I even tried learing basics of latte art. And occasionally am thinking about taking barista courses just for fun.
