About Me

CURRENT MISSION

love spreading

ABOUT ME

I'm happy, free and fool of love. There are still a lot of things missing to reach my dreams, but I enjoy every second of my life and I try my best, that every day in the moment I'm going to sleep, I feel so satisfied and happy I could die.
I am not only dreaming - I'm making my dreams come true.
I believe in love between two strangers as pure as love between mother and her child.
Freedom is a state of mind.

PHILOSOPHY

Although I'm writing down here a few of the most important things I believe, the most important is to not be enslaved by rules and principles.

Life's about creating. We don't chose where and how we're born (even if our soul does, our mind's not concious about it), but we may chose how we want to live like!

Life's about sharing! "Happinnes is only real when shared!"

Life's about people you meet. Instead of tolerance or acceptance (both of them put you in a privilaged possition), but love and respect!

Life's about how you treat your body. I care about what I eat. I care about what I take. I care about with who I share it.

Life's not only about human beings. I wish that people could stop with antropocentrism forevermore! We're not others than animals and plants. Although we need to eat something, we don't need to kill. And what civilisation has done and keeps on doing, often makes me cry. It is a serious problem that human eat too much meat and produce it even more. It is a serious probem that people don't stop devastating our planet.

Get closer to the nature! It's just 100-200 years that more of 50 % of world population live in a cities and we start to feel a lack of natural enviroment now. I help people to green up my area. Stop talking and plant something!

However "nature" exists only because of humanity. It's a cultural construct. A lot of things that we see as natural are just naturalised. For example sex. Sex's just a part of a gender. It wouldn't exist without culture. Male and female are heteronormative political ideas that help procreation and try to make everyone straight as a "natural" consequence of this identification. It makes a lot of people suffering and it's insane! Stop it!

The most we can help is the most we can feel. Trying to make world better I start from my surrounding. If each part of the world had someone helping others, there would be no suffer any more!

Money rules the world, but it's not everything. If we have more money we have more tools to share our happiness with others, cause it's nowadays a basic product of an exchange. Love money to have it, but be aware of a borderline that makes money having you!

I follow what feels right to me. All the above are connected to my desire. I would not feel good doing it other way. My feelings are my recognition of the source of reality. But I don't try to change the world. The idea of one changing the world is very arrogant, because it assumes that one knows better what is good for the world. I'm only a little human being.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was sitting home, planning holidays in Barcelona, when friend of mine, who's a couchsurfer came to visit me and advised to go on CS. So here I am, giving it a try ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love it!

Interests

I graduated from Cultural Studies. I work in a theatre as an actor, singer, pedagog. I am interested into art, theatre and performance studies, and I connect it with my community work.
I do yoga (Iyengar's method), not only as a sport-kind-of, but as a life-long training.
I study languages to be able to communicate with people. However you put it, it's very important element of culture!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm more into Erfahrung than Erlebnis. I love a direct contact with people and a feeling that I'm a part of art people create. So I love going to theatre, concert or any other life performance the most.

I've seen a lot of interesting movies! I always watch what I see as an important thing to be watched. Since the beginning of cinema till the contemporary movies.

Music I listen to is everything I admire. There's no rule about specific kind of music I like. Hindustian mantras or ragas, avant-garde experiments with inuits throat singing, Lady Gaga, movie soundtracks, electronic music, techno parties, live guitar concerts, Ockeghem, Beethoven, Vaya Con Dios, Cigdem Aslan, Crystal Castles, Blur, Jeff Buckley, Petula Clark, Monteverdi, Madonna, SebastiAN, Nicolas Jaar... total variety of everything.
Hinduists discovering Raga were concious about a fact, that music works on your physiology. I believe it goes about every kind of music. Music that moves my internal organs and speeds my blood is music I enjoy.

I read a lot about cultural issues, art, philosophy and history (although I'm not really into history of politics - there was alway a mess). I rarely read novels and if yes, I try to connect them with some physical issues.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's a place in the forest near-situated to the village, where my parents live. I remember the first time, when I came there bicycling and every time I'm there I feel the same feeling of adventure.

[I've wrote this note some time ago. Last time I've visited my parents and the place I talk here about, I found out that half of the forest is cutted down... no comments. People are mean... ;(]

Because I don't need anything and I enjoy everything, my life's full of amazing things I see each day.

Teach, Learn, Share

All night long chats may give us an opportunity to share with each other knowledge we have. I'm into sharing what I learn about cultures around the world, my history and art knowledge and personal life wisdom.
We can do yoga together, try to make some theatre excersises, make music sessions, sing for hours and teach each other folk songs, create a public performance or just go out together and enjoy life to the full partying and meeting strangers!
