Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to find someone wanting to invite me to a pint in the CS meets.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed and hosted, only great experiences in all cases so far!

Interests

My interests... well, pleasure, in the broad sense of the word, whether it comes from food, travel, reading, sleeping, a good coffee, a conversation...

• dining
• coffee
• reading
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Japanese 20th century literature
Russian 19th century literature
And all the usual good books from any time... Oh, and reading some History every now and again doesn't hurt. And no, it's not boring.
Only good quality music, wherever it comes from.
Movies that make you think for hours or days after you leave the cinema. But I don't mind watching "the other" type when my brain is too lazy to think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once my mother told me not to touch the rice pudding she had just cooked until cooled down, because you know, when it's cold is much nicer. But it's so tasty my mother's rice pudding that you can hardly wait for it to cool down... But I waited!
