I'm just a guy from the foothills of Carpathians. I like to travel & meet new people, explore different cultures & views on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe, that the best way to travel (not just collecting points on the map you were visiting somehow) is getting in touch with local people. That's why I prefere hitchhiking & staying with locals. And because of i'm not very rich :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: genres are constantly changing with time, & i always look on it as on some investigation, trying to see the evolution & origin of genres, or maybe just find some rare freaky compositions. For current time i`m listening mostly to oldschool hip hop, funk, IDM & post-punk, but we can have a wonderful talk about lots of other genres (especially balkan ethnic music or psychedelic rock).
Movies: same thing, i adore both classical & mass culture cinema, for example "The Color of Pomegranates", "Shadows of forgotten ancestors" by Parajanov, "O Lucky Man!" by Lindsay Anderson, "Ex-Drummer" by Koen Mortier & lots of others.
Books: I read mostly non-fiction, mostly these are phylosophical (mostly continental) stuff: everything from Plato to modern speculative realism or gender theory. Also, i adore Márquez, Sartre, Beckett & others
