Struggle for happiness

ABOUT ME

Multifunctional catalyst :) In less cryptic words, I really enjoy building links between different people, ideas, beliefs. I have a strong alternative background, but also many other interests. For me nothing is more valuable than gathering very different people upon a project, party or just talk.

PHILOSOPHY

This is way too personal and difficult to have it exposed here, and even if I'd try, this would probably be a lot of misunderstanding about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed a few places and had a few people surfed mine. Although I really like CS I can't say I have a big experience in it, but I definitely wanna improve that point. Anyway when I travel somewhere, I always give a shot to CS, so I can meet some nice and totally unknown people, it's more for the beauty of human discovery than by necessity.

Please, if you wanna meet me, usually contact me quite in advance, as usually just a couple of days or only one week before, my schedule is full and I won't have time for the CS thing. I'm definitely not an emergency couchsurfer :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive so far, met a couple of nice or very nice people when travelling with my girlfriend across Romania, Rep. Moldova and Ukraine.

Interests

Music is essential for me. Listening, dancing and playing music enlightens my life! I also love movies, I wish I could live another life as a film director :)

I'm also interested in (too) many other things, a lot are about having fun with my friends, discovering new people, organizing shows and parties, playing music with my band, playing music as DJ, organizing a soccer tournament, late night board games sessions, etc.

Eventually, when it comes to more individual acivities, I like drawing, graphics and software/web design - which all the same is what I was doing for living.

Now photography has taken the biggest part of attention, it's a 180° turn in my life, I really wanna focus on that now, probably going back to school at the end of 2014 aiming to perform professionally.
