CURRENT MISSION

To travel, play music and meet with new people

Currently living and studying in Copenhagen.

I'm a student- viola player but I can play the piano too. In my free time I usually write my blog, go to concerts, ride by bike and take photos with film camera Zenit-E or some other cameras.
I like celebration, cooking for myself and my friends( expert of various pancakes and apple pie), parties, doodling and meeting with new people.
One of the few people between my friends who likes eating liquorice and dancing.

I also love good food, movies, music and guessing songs on the radio or in cafés- I am walking Shazam. I like to tell jokes about viola players but in general I suck at it and I know it.

If this info still isn't enough, you can peek into my blog stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

To know different cultures and learn new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know how sometimes it's difficult to have enough finances for your dreams. I like the idea of bonding with complete strangers in exchange of a couch/mattress. It's great way how to see the world and also make new contacts. Please write "Captain Bluebear" so I know that you have read through my profile. In case you wonder why, I should tell you that reading through my profile gives you better chance to be accepted to stay at my place as I receive many requests per day. If I don't see the key word, I assume that you are just trying to find place to stay free of charge rather than living by the Couchsurfing mantra- give in order to receive/get to know the people you stay with. It's all about social connection so my opinion is very firm about it.

About music- not a big fan of techno, hard rock, heavy metal or reggae.

Books: Walter Moers, Haruki Murakami, Umberto Eco, George Orwell, Stephen King but mostly I read everything that interests me or I get hands on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made my first tattoo in September 2014 and it hurt like hell. So I made three more.

• When I visited Switzerland, there was this amazingly enormous waterfall. I had never seen anything like this!
• Performing with orchestra in Palazzo Pitti yard in Florence. The sound was beautiful and unforgettable.
• Swimming on the beach of Sorento in Italy. The water was very clear and salty. First time in my life I was sunbathing until my skin turned from light to red.
I am excited to meet with other culture people- it's so much fun!

Teach, Learn, Share
