I was a rollerblader, then a student activist, then an entrepreneur in education and now I'm in a sabbatical ... so I've turned into a world traveler and a writer. I used to be introvert but traveling non stop for the past 21 months cured me. I dream about creating a new kind of university. I've been passionate about transforming education for a long time. I love ice cream but I stopped eating sugar. I'm vegetarian. I got a drumkit for my birthday and never learned to play ... but one day I will. For now, I have a quena in my backpack and fantasize that I'll practice each day. I'm a wanabee minimalist. Sometimes I play Starcraft. I will move to a village and build myself a tiny house. I'm a work in progress and I love learning.

I have a website when you can find out more: http://www.traianbruma.ro/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is the most interesting and challenging way to travel, aside from cheapest. I learn a lot when I stay with people and not in hostels. And I believe in Gift Culture and I'm excited to be part of it and sometimes I get inspired by how other people experience life and the small details that surround them.
