About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn to abandon the warm comfort of routine

ABOUT ME

Trying to learn as much as I can about the world without leaving too big a footprint. Right now I'm discovering Ecology, long-term travelling and electronic music - While forgetting life in grey office buildings and traffic jams.

PHILOSOPHY

I mainly follow Objectivism nowadays, but I'm beginning to see the problematic nature of this philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Most of my life I made an effort to open my house to anyone who needed a bed for the night - this year I hosted couchsurfers for the first time, and can't wait for the next time I'll have this oppurtunity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted two couch surfers for one night.

Interests

Travelling, knowing people living entirely different lives than mine (for better or worse), any kind of sport (the next thing I want to learn is rock-climbing), the science/nature conflict.

Teach, Learn, Share

the three rules my father taught me when I came to this world -

2. If it can open and close, it can break.
3. If you scratch it and it feels good, it's a fungus.
