About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If you really want something, all Universe conspires in helping you to achive it.

ABOUT ME

Please read any news about my couch! I am updating the info every month or so... Lately i've received a lot of non-personal messages. Please try to avoid them. I'm replying to each normal one, even if i can't host you. And usually i'm not home during the weekends, as mentioned on My Home section.

Sometimes i feel like i have to do more in order to make this world better. I like meeting people from all over the world and of course one of my priority is traveling. When i visit one place i just don't want to be a regular tourist, like taking pictures of all the buildings and being in a hurry to visit every museum and local tourist attraction. I like more living as a local, doing all things locals usually do.
The thing about hosting: best is to have 2 guests because i like to spend some time with them, but i can host more than 2.

PHILOSOPHY

So far the best philosophy i know is that you don't have to have one. Or to make it a little bit more challenging: "Life is what is happening to you while you're making other plans!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just tell my friends the great experience i lived meeting people (hosting, being a guest also) and maybe they'll tell their friends and so on. Some of them will join CS, that's for sure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of the best CouchSurfing experience i've had happened last year, starting in Vama Veche Beach Camp, where i've met 2 polish, Ania and Andrzey who wanted to go to Poland in the same time i wanted to leave for Estonia. Of course the way to Estonia goes through Poland, so we decided to spend some days in the beautiful city of Lublin. Great idea, since i found almost instantly a host, not just for me, but for all 3 of us. Adam and Beata were just great, they left us a key from their free appartment and told us that they have other guest too. Wow! I was so surprised, almost like every traveller through Lublin found their nice place to hang out:).Of course we met the others (Olga and her boyfriend from Jerusalim) and spend wonderfull time together. He even tought me how to earn money on the street doing some joggling...rrr. The sadest part of this great experience was the fact that i was the last guy who left their place and spent one night alone, missing all the fun and companion of these wonderfull friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Back in student time, we were playing Bingo every night around midnight for the biggest price of the day, 1 mil. lei (wow - not as much as you'd probably imagine, but enough for partying for the entire week with my friends). 7 nights in a row without any price and finally i gave up and said to myself: this is not for me, spending so much money for the tickets and coffees and cigarettes, it just doesn't worth it. But...a roommate being sick that day had a dream (while he was delusioning). He dreamt me winning the big price that night with all the juicy details...Of course nobody believed him, but after hours and hours of persuasing, i finally agreed to take my last chance (to follow my destiny as he was saying on and on). What do you think happened???? That night was the most unbelievable night so far in my life. Everything happened exactly as in my roommate's dream and i managed to pay all my debts and to party with my friends. So far my friends have many doubts about the accuracy of this event, but for me something changed that night...
