About Me

I am a relaxed, open-minded and thoughtful person who is taking a long education at more than one university. I am a nature-lover, eco-freak, and wannabe-vegetarian with many interests. My philosophy is "education first". I do not find anything excited in a job and right now I feel I could study all my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing deserves the Nobel Peace Prize! It brings people with different cultural backgrounds and religions together from all over the world. Let us spread the idea of CouchSurfing to even more non-CS members.

Interests

Have a nice cooking time.
Run a marathon in nature.
Make photo reports of events.
Play classical piano on my own.
Play rhythmic sax in a big band.
Discuss astronomy with anyone.
Hike with friends in the mountains.
And of course, to travel all over the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do not have a TV, and I rarely watch movies.
Regarding music: jazz, world and folk music.
Riverdance and Buena Vista Social Club.
Al Jarreau and Dave Brubeck Quartet.
Phil Collins and Sting and The Police.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In summer 2009, I traveled alone around in the former Yugoslavian countries and Albania for 3 weeks by hitch-hiking in every single country and only carrying what could be in a school bag!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you about the universe, stars, planets and how life may have come to Earth. Or let us have a salsa lesson together or do some jamming if you play any instruments. Last but not least, I can give you some basic skills in digital photography or computer science.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The best CS experiences have been the unexpected ones, where we interacted better together than we thought from our profiles, and where we did more together than any of us had planned to do. This seems often to happen when both parts invest time to be together with the other!
