Overview
About Me
I quit my job and now I'm fulfilling myself a long-held dream!
I'm cycling around the world and would love to make you part of my trip!
My planned route is Austria-Slovacia-Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Turkey-Georgia-Armenia-Azerbaijan-Iran-Pakistan-India.
I'm vaccinated 3xtimes.
I think I'm an open-minded, enthusiastic and tolerant person. One thing I like about myself is how much I can enjoy nature. Just put me in a forest and I'll be happy. I believe in mutual respect, trying to understand one another instead of dominating and sharing what's positive. I like people who go idiotically crazy on the dance floor as I'm one of them. I like people who put in the effort of reading this endless text.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like interactions that aren't based on money. I was able to help travelers save a buck while I get to know new amazing people. I enjoyed showing people around my old hometown because it refreshed my view of Timisoara. Also the average person on CS is just more interesting, entertaining and fun than the average Joe on the street. I met one of my best friends on couchsurfing, that speaks for itself :)
Interests
One of the most vital parts of my life is to listen to music. It's my biggest addiction ( besides sweets) and I hope that I'll never be cured. I mostly listen to folk, alternative rock, funk, jazz, blues and electronic music. I absolutely adore live music and I always find a pair of dancing shoes whereever I am ( I might look goofy on the dance floor yet I don't care)
I'm also very interested in different cultures and history. I like to visit ancient sites and museums that deal with classical and prehistoric history.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Right now, I'm cycling around the world! It's a dream of mine coming true! I'm thankful for this opportunity that life granted me.
Teach, Learn, Share
As I'll be cycling a long distance I'll love to tell you of my experiences and plans. I enjoy getting to know new people and show one's world to each other.
If you could teach me a word or two in your language, I'd really appreciate that!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Myself ( limited cooking and entertainment skills included). I can teach you how to make very tasty vegan quiche or just let you eat it :)
Eventually a flu or some other microbial species. Keep biodiversity alive! (Actually wrote this jokeingly in 2015; it did age well, didn't it :)
