About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live a life I won't regret, to get rid of my mmo addiction

ABOUT ME

They say I think to much, they say I'm a good performer. They say I write well, they say I cook well, they say I'm stubborn, they say I'm arrogant, they say I'm too modest and shy, they say I'm outgoing.

I'm lively at times, quiet at other. I use all my senses to explore the world. Sometimes I'm high, though I have never taken any drugs and I do not intend to...

They say I'm like a chameleon. I guess you have to see for yourself!

PHILOSOPHY

People are ultimately good. They just need a little push to show their good side.

Everyone, regardles of anything, deserves a chance.

Hipocrisy is a turn off.

We are shaped by our past and modeled by hopes of future.

Life is full of illusins which are ready to burst. Keep'em safe, make them real.

The Universe is constructed on contradictions because the only constant thing is... change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a beginner, really. I try to surf, watch how people do it, learn and host people when I feel ready for it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once in Tampere, at lovely Marcus' and Suvi's place, it was really warm and funny, both the people and the experience.

The other experience was at Frank's in Purfleet, near London. He was very welcoming and helped me and my friend around a LOT!

Interests

trying to figure out how to keep writing, practicing archery, travelling, learning new languages, cooking for other people and wondering if they like it, reading, exploring to music and listening to awesome tracks I've found, language games, cycling down the hill and on flat surfaces, fantasy, roleplaying, computer games, conspiracy theories, different kinds of tea and coffee, recalling things, whatiffing, making people laugh

I absolutely adore Orbital's Halcyon +on +on, best track ever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen U2 live. Twice.

I've caught a train while having 2 minutes for departure and carrying a 24kg suitcase from another platform through the rails (yes, I know that's not safe, but sometimes you've got to take a chance)

I twisted my knee after simply turing my body 180 degrees (it still amazes me)

Sometimes, when I ask nicely, the weather changes.

Survived a nasty car crash in the winter

The most amazing things happen in my dreams. Dali paints them from the otherworld, I'm sure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn, so I'll gladly learn anything I don't know.

Things I can teach:

Basics of playing guitar
How to shoot a bow
How to clean and maintain your laptop in a good shape (overheating issues and stuff)
How to cook some nice meals
Basics of any language I know
I can tell you about mythologies and philosophies of sorts.
Show you some dance moves (some claim I'm good)
How to fix a vacuum cleaner with a shoelace
How to climb a tree (at least I used to be good at it...)
How to cook something out of whatever you've got in the fridge
How to find things on the internet

and so on...
