About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Rawlsian Social Justice - aka Robin Hood

ABOUT ME

I'm easy going, active, pleasant and I'd say interesting...

PHILOSOPHY

I like to see people who smile genuinely and are positively predisposed for their life. I'm that kind of person plus a huge dislike for injustices and arbitrary inequalities. I cannot stand any form of discrimination and I'm a social libertarian.

I live because life can be great if you make sense of what is important to you and get fascinated about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travel loads, laugh with CSers and have fun!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CS experiences so far have been successes. I've stayed with nuclear physicists and Basque interpreters to Estonian students and philosophy teachers. I've learned, taught, smiled, laughed, had great conversations and clubbed with an amazing crowd!

Interests

Music (house, electro), Reading (love Kazantzakis and Kafka), theatre (from ancient tragedy to experimental modern drama), Swimming (prefer to swim at the sea; at the moment, the ULU swimming pool is adequate) Clubbing (oh oh oh YEAH) and as you can guess Travelling!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise on the Volga during a cruise from Kazan' to Nizhny Novgorod
Sunset at Ravello in Costiera Amalfitana, Italy
Full Moon by the Moroccan-Algerian border and a night at a Berber's house when our van got stuck in the mountains.

I am not an expert in anything! ... But I am very engaged with social-democratic politics stuff; forced migration and asylum; and philosophy.
