Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, enrich my traveling experiences... you know, typical stuff :)

I have already traveled quite a bit across Europe and had a chance to meet different people but have never actually stayed with locals.

Also, I think it can be an amazing experience to see the city you live in and are very much used to through foreigners' eyes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Here are some, by no means definite, selections so you can get some impression of my taste (which tends to be somewhat eclectic)

Music:
The National, The Magnetic Fields, Sparklehorse, Yo La Tengo, Azra, Darko Rundek, Pink Floyd, Sufjan Stevens, Motorama, Classical music (pieces from the Baroque and Romantic eras mostly)

Books:
Danilo Kiš: A Tomb for Boris Davidovich, The Encyclopedia of the Dead; Nescio's three short stories: De uitvreter, Titaantjes, Dichtertje; Virginia Woolf: To the Lighthouse; poetry (Adam Zagajewski, Marko Tomaš, Cavafy, Tassos Leivaditis, to name a few)

Movies:
La grande bellezza; The Big Blue; My Own Private Idaho; Hiroshima, mon amour; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; Paris, Texas; Der Himmel über Berlin; Stalker; The Mirror; I'm also increasingly more interested in documentaries, about various subjects; a couple of documentaries I recently watched and liked very much: The Salt of the Earth, Kedi

I like exploring and discovering new music, books, and movies so recommendations are always welcome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn whatever you feel like teaching or sharing. I am willing to try almost anything - at least once :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations about diverse topics, quality time, books and movies recommendations, good music, lots of random trivia that you'll probably never need but is fun to know, small gifts from my country
