About Me

I'm just a guy who likes to learn and experience new things. I feel I'm a creative person who enjoys a lot of different things; I've tried my hand at making movies, music, comedy, writing (currently working on a novel and my blog). Of course, I really enjoy just relaxing and having a good time with friends... and wine.

I'm rather easy going and on the quiet side mostly. If you want me to speak loads, get a couple of wine glasses in me and I'll be happy to oblige.

I'm a big believer in freedom, in letting people be who they are, even if I don't agree with their choices. I try to keep an open mind and accept that may I don't know everything. Zazen (Zen meditation) helps me do this.

Unfortunately, although I've hosted a few people, getting into a routine of checking my account regularly is something I've failed to do because of the zillion commitments I signed myself up to - something I plan to fix when I go back to my homeland (I'm currently L=living in the UK on a student exchange programme).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know people and learn from different cultures and teach them about my own and to help me explore the world a little easier and better.

Interests

I am interested in many things, and the list only grows with time. I love all sorts of movies (except horror because I'm a big baby) and music (except black metal, just because). I love reading far and wide - from Economics to classic literature to quantum physics.

I enjoy hiking and exploring but not standing in queues. (Since I'm Couchsurfing, it's safe to say I LOVE travelling).

Music, Movies, and Books

Notes from the Underground (Dostoevsky) is my all-time favourite novel, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is my all-time favourite movie and Devin Townsend is my all-time favourite musician (I can't pick an album or song).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived with 30 guitarists in Spain and practised guitar all day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to cook a few dishes, teach you a few words or sentences in Italian or a language less than one million people around the world know (Maltese- which really handy for having secret conversations in buses :P) or teach some basic Math.

I want to truly learn about the country I'm visiting, not just what I can read off Wikipedia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation and even better cooking.

Countries I’ve Visited
