About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Open minded, adventurous, always relaxed, always joking, energetic, willing wether able or not. I love when people tell stories for half an hour, one story triggering the next, and I love it when people brag about things that aren't worth bragging about, like how well they can tie their shoes, or how good they are at stroking their dogs.

PHILOSOPHY

Just google one and pick one haha. There's millions of them it turns out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not enough right now as I'm not travelling like I wish I was, but when the time comes, lots of surfing, lots of hosting.

Right now I just wanna make a network of the cities around me in Europe, and have a relationship to each one, so far I've got Bucharest and Belgrade, I need to crack Budapest, that's the next mission.

Interests

I'm living in Bratislava, trying to save money for a film, which I think I will here. I write poetry too.

But yes, of course, I love travelling and researching. I kind of like to understand regions conflicts like The Great Lakes Region of Africa or The Former Yugloslavia... I don't know why, hopefully I'm not a misery tourist, but it is fascinating.

I don't drink like I used to, I'm more of a one night and dead the next day kinda guy.... But I will try to go the whole way with you if you want to party, life is to be lived with many regrets....

I'd say the more amazing things aren't really amazing at all, but just crazy things that have happened to me on the road. Really and truly, it's dangerous for me to leave my own home, something bizarre is going to happen to me.
