ABOUT ME

Difficult to describe as an insider. But, here are some of the things I enjoy doing:
Attempting to see places/people and sometimes even managing it, (Learning) Languages, Books, Music, Movies (particularly based on true stories, history or those that "analyze" people/situations etc.), History/Stories/Anecdotes, Folk dances/songs, Latin dances, Biking, Swimming, Basketball etc.

PHILOSOPHY

La vie, n'est-elle pas une devinette à laquelle personne ne donne la même réponse?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a wonderful experience in Belgrade as a guest but am yet to be a host, difficult to be one at a dorm...
