About Me

I'm a 5th year med student with a love of travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a wonderfull opportunity to comunicate with new people who share similair or also different ideas and help eachother with exploring the world. In my opinion, the wonderful thing about people is that everyone is different and unique, which makes us interesting. And because of that each city is different and couldn't be better explored than through meeting it's people.

Interests

As all of us here, I enjoy travelling very much, but when I'm not doing that or not studying for some exams (although doing that quite a lot ) and not working (to be able to travel, of course), I love to watch some good unpredictable movies. It's both lovely to do it at home or with some good company in a cozy small cinema.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favourite musicians and bands are The Kinks, The Animals, Simon and Garfunkel, Lou Reed, The Velvet Underground, Florence and the machines, and I also sometimes throw Eminem up in that list too. I also like various film genres, in my opinion the best movies are with unpredicted turns or dark comedies. Some of my favourites are Dr. Strangelove, Hot Fuzz, The Usual Suspects, Little Miss Sunshine and many more. I also enjoy TV series - Black Mirror, The Handmaids tale, Breaking Bad, True Detective, Preatcher etc. I can talk about movies and shows for a while. Some of my favourite book authors are Margarit Atwood, Ray Bradbury, Mikhail Bulgakov.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've taken part in Iron art casting symposiums where I had the oppourtunity to pour liquid iron in my selfmade cast. It was very awesome feeling to be standing so close ( all geard up, of course) to incredibly hot, yellow and pourable iron. Iron is in its liquid form at about 1500C!
