About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Saving mankind.

ABOUT ME

Wow ok guys so this is all about me. I'm a really dynamic person, quite social I think, but at the same time I like to get plunged into my own thoughts. I have 4 younger siblings so I'm used to having a lot of people (and kids which means noise) around me. I love meeting new people and cultures even if it sometimes brings you in awkward situations. I love going out for a pint, coffee or to a club, just not staying at home!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that your subjective view about things is more important than their objective state and so I'm trying to be as positive as possible :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host so far, living with siblings and parents it's just not possible but I am hoping to (and going to) host loads of people as soon as I move out :)
Still, I'll be more than happy to show you around (even though my orientation is amongst the worst and I'm therefore able to get lost in my own city :)) or even happier to go for a pint with you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Perfect!

Interests

The only thing that interests me are bars and pubs :D
Nah, just kidding. I enjoy doing sports very much, especially collective ones but tbh I'm very clumsy and therefore not very good usually :) Apart from that I like playing chess. I also enjoy listening to music and watching films a lot, but I guess I'll write more about that in the other section.
I'm interested in electronics, which I'm hoping to study later on and sciences in general.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Arctic Monkeys, Beatles, Beach Boys, Bastille, The Dandy Warhols, David Bowie, Guns and Roses, Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, Bob Marley, Billy Talent, Porcupine Tree, Oasis, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Jamiroquai, Rooney, Velvet Underground...
I love music and I really regret I can't play any musical instrument though I'm hoping to learn to play something, soon. (This sentence has been here since I have established my profile. It's still true though!)

Films: I enjoy all kids of movies from Belmondo's comedies to strange films such as Clip. The genre I like the most is probably neo-noir: films by Tarantino, the Coen brothers or C. Nolan. If I had to choose one favourite film, it would probably be The Prestige. Oh and now I see I've completely forgotten about Guy Ritchie! I love his films!

Books: I used to read all the time when I was a kid but lately I just can't find to read even though I'm slowly getting to it again. If I was to mention the top 5 of the books I've read, I guess I'd list The Catcher in the Rye, We Children of Bahnhof Zoo, Kafka on the Shore, Lord of the Flies and King Rat... but I'm pretty sure I've forgotten something. Oh and it wouldn't be fair to end this list without mentioning all these (crime) novels I've always loved as a kid. So thanks to Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Karl May and all the others. Currently I'm just reading loads of books for my exams.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hoping the most amazing is still about to come.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some language knowledge or teach you a few tricks to beat your friends at chess :)
Also, if anyone would be interested in the differences between living in Central Europe and in the UK, I'll be glad to talk about that, but I guess the vast majority of couchsurfers are far more well traveled than I am (and I'll be more than happy to learn from you).
