I explore the world for what it is mostly through work, which sometimes drives me to the brink of exhaustion and disaster, but it can be pretty fun that way.

Some say... I'm reserved, creative but open to new experiences, mindful, non-confrontational and undemanding. I definitely seek thrills, adventures and adrenaline but always appreciate quiet time. Life's about balance anyhow, so I take things as they come - as hard and soft as water.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting, exchanging stories, creating memories with like-minded explorers is phenomenal. Besides, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet.

Interests

Top few things: photography, martial arts, tennis, diving, driving, architecture, industrial design, sustainable development, green-technology, piano bars, food, really random music, practical engineering, making things, appreciating the coarse and fine things in life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourites are action/kung fu and crime/mastermind/heist movies - something that can mess with your mind and remove me from reality for 90+ minutes.

I like almost all music, but jazz standards, classical, indie and acoustic stuff stands out but sometimes hiphop and EDM is a must.

I keep trying to read non-fiction to learn, but usually I end up falling asleep and forgetting what I just read, only to read the same stuff over and over again in a vicious loop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Used to do forensic engineering and saw how easily things go wrong, how paranoid it can make you and how technology is taking over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help understand the basics of photography and tennis, but I'm no master.

Teach me your way of life.
