About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hapiness

ABOUT ME

Well, it would be a lot. Actualy I am a happy student - the most during holidays, when I can travel somewhere. I am interested in all kind of culture - right now I try to concentrate on European, where I have grown up - later probably Eastern? We will see. Moreover, I love sport - or sports in fact. Not however those with rivalization. Rather the ones when you can prove yourself, driven by the demons. Hiking, climbing - which I have to try. Futhermore I am interested in historical reenacment movement, and military aspects. And lots more, but it you will learn when meeting me! :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Difficult one. The only thing which is sure is that I exist - "cogito sumque". Like taken from Des Cartes, but not as logical deduction, rather primary feeling - like De Brian said. Everything else is unknown - it may exist, but doesn't have to. It's agnostic. Sometimes soliptic - because as real agnostic you can not function, you always need to have some relation to the world - even if it's not a fenomen, but noumen (taking Kant's division). And solipsism can fight those problems - world is just your creation. Everything is your creation.

That is mostly my philosophy. However recently I consider Nagarjuna's ideas of 4 truths - or generaly an idea that there is not one but many "truths"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Och, this is almost a year since being in CS community. How did it passed? Several people of good will, who I couched with - and great memories. Unfortunately, as for now, my life standard hasn't allowed me to couch anyone - but I'm trying to change it.

Interests

Hoh, I've written it above. What more here can I write? Maybe my secondary, additional interests. Just categories, briefly: cinema, music - metal and rock [I am a bit damn heavy metal fan, yeach! ;-)], but also classic (Bizet I love, and Vivaldi), literature (fantasy, but also Huxley, Wells). Philosophy - maybe one day I will study it also. Japanese and arabic culture. Poetry. Motorbikes - choppers my beloved. And the last but the most important - fun from life, everytime. I am used to say: "When you are not happy - It's like being dead already!".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As for now, the most fantastic I have done? Climbig Mont Blanc/ But It would soon change...

Teach, Learn, Share
