About Me

CURRENT MISSION

tranquillo, tranquillo, tranquillo

ABOUT ME

It kind of feels a bit silly to describe yourself, because both bragging about having an amazing personality or being way too modest and saying there's nothing special about you is equally senseless. Therefore, I'll only say (and I think everyone who knows me would agree to that) that I'm a positive, optimistic and open-minded person, the rest you'll have to find out yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have anything that I would call a personal philosophy, but I do believe in everything happening to the best. I also do believe in making an effort to see good in people, even if sometimes it's not that easy. What else? Life is short, so seizing the day is probably not the worst idea anyone could ever come up with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm relatively new to CS but the idea of fellow travelers helping each other does seem very appealing.

Interests

I'm interested in life, interested in people, interested in anything new and inspiring that crosses my way. As for things I enjoy doing on a daily basis, i.e. hobbies or whatever you'd call it, I enjoy capoeira(though I'm seriously lame at it), good music and cinema, learning languages and of course sharing great food, great company and great talks about anything starting with politics and ending with such important topics as which M&M shade is the most delicious.

Music, Movies, and Books

I generally like anything that raises any thoughts in my head and/or makes that organ in the left side of my chest beat a little faster, so listing all my musical, cinematographic and literary preferences would take ages, but of the top of my head I do adore Woody Allen, Emir Kusturica, jazz in its any possible form and Russian classical literature. In order not to sound like a complete "intellectual wannabe" snob, I'll say that dancing and singing in my room like a crazy person to some catchy tune would also leave me very very happy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always felt that I'm more of a "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of person,but if you do find any of my abilities profound enough for them to be taught, just ask, I'll try my best to share them with you.
