About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learning by experience

ABOUT ME

I am still trying to find my way in the adult life.. I guess in the future, I would remember this part of life as much more obvious than it seems now.. However, it certainly does not mean that it is not an interesting and funny part of life.. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I realize that being happy or positive is a decision and either a full-time or part-time job..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been participating in CS for more than 10 years.. I traveled and also hosted several people..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive, I think it is a great idea to create such a global community of people of similar interests and values. I met wonderful people thanks to Couchsurfing..

Interests

I like visiting concerts and theatre performances. In particular, I am interested in shows that make use of buildings or spaces, that were not intended for performances before (such as galleries in industrial places or theatre in a train station).

From time to time, I try to organize small-scale events, such as Pecha Kucha at my university or live screening of TEDx events.

Once in a month, I prepare a podcast, in which I try to summarize my month and music I got to know in this month. I enjoy preparing that very much..

Once in approximately 2 months, I play guitar. I also do it less often than I used to, but the more I enjoy it.

I started to do more sports recently (football, badminton, tennis, swimming).

I read books mainly during a vacation. Right now, I am reading Kahneman´s Thinking Fast and Slow and a book by Tom Robbins Skinny Legs and All.

Music, Movies, and Books

the examples just came to my mind, the lists are not complete..

movies - Heartbeats, Oh Boy!, Her, Whatever Works and for anyone who wants to see a good movie from Central Europe, I strongly recommend the movie "Samotari" or The Loners

music - right now, I am a big fan of Tomorrow Never Knows by Beatles, but in general, things like: LCD Soundsystem, James Blake, Radiohead, Austra, Moderat, the xx, Metronomy, Trentemoller, The Knife, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Club des Belugas, Tame Impala, Arcade Fire

books - I try to participate in an attempt to run a reading club + I read books I find myself - I have read a wonderful book by Jennifer Egan recently

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

that's not one thing, but I think I really enjoyed a creation and organization of events and if there are visitors, who seem to enjoy them

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make little experiments in life (if that sounds interesting to anyone)..
