A person's "about me"-section shrieks 'caricature' to me and I find it hard to take them seriously. But caricatures are fun, so here's mine:
I like long walks in nature as they allow my monkey mind to take a moment's rest from the hassles of the world.
I then like my tacit mind to emerge, give it a few moments to take in its surroundings and gently spur it to tell me about its day.
Once it's done all that, I like to place all of my faith into the residual feeling that gets left behind and naively rely on this to get me where I need to be. For a good while at least.
At long last, I like to return home, fall back into the comforts of my ways and look out the window in search of new waters to tread and new mountains to scale.
Lastly I like to believe that I am one day going to save the world hahaha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of meeting people from all over the world, sharing exciting stories and offering them a place to stay is second nature to me, given my background.
I grew up in a country and a culture that isn't that of my parents, and was lucky enough to have seen more of the world than my parents had when they were twice my age.
I'm a happy and proud globetrotter who sometimes gets a little disoriented when asked to think of home.

Interests

My interests lie in the world, the human mind and the very thing that makes us tick.

Dance.

I also love to go bouldering, thr brazilian art of Jiu-Jitsu and a good game of Tak.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like and listen to a lot of music; my favourite genres would have to be rock, metal, jazz & hip-hop.

I don't have a favourite book or genre per se, but I categorically love reading and even seem to remember this fact these days (I forget sometimes).

A movie that I've long considered to be my favourite is Guy Ritchie's "Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels", though I must have seen it many years ago now. I guess I don't watch that many movies.
Love the series Firefly to bits.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Broken into fort on the island of Hvar, one night when I was drunk, young and longed a good sunset.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook a traditional Russian mushroom soup. We'll need to find mushrooms first of course :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

An attentive ear, an exotic story and a cheeky grin.
