Overview
About Me
Doing my master studies in University of Potsdam currently, on Cognitive Systems.
A guy who is curios about every culture, every city, every cuisine and every tiny detail of everything. My mission is to see as many places as I can, eat as much food as I can before settling down. I want to create memories that would make me and the people I've been with smile, even after the years pass.
In contrary, I can say I am quite a quiet guy at first. Love trying different cuisines (well, except bugs!). Getting over the existential crisis by traveling because I believe that what keeps me alive and motivated is the constant change, the challenges of new conditions.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
- Best way to learn is learn from the locals.
- Develop my English and social skills.
- Want to collect memories that would make me smile in the future.
Interests
Music
I've been really into music nearly for a decade. Always exploring new bands, following their new albums, picking the best music for my different moods (even in negative moods), to enhance and enjoy the moment. Yep, I can enjoy sorrow as well.
History
History is like the most amazing for me. The fact that each country, city, food, drink, revolution, people, whatever you can think of has its very distinct story is charming and there are endless number of lessons to be taken.
Food&Drinkz
Well, you already know this yourself too so not going into details :p
Software Development
It is what I do for living, with a great joy.
- cooking

Music, Movies, and Books
Music
Well, mostly metal music. What I listen really depends from time to time. Really like the music that is out of boundaries and cannot defined by a "genre". Apart from that, everything with musical value. In love with Sóley.
Books
Mostly classics. Been reading a lot of Stefan Zweig recently. Not really a fan of recent literature or best sellers, but who am I to judge?
Movie
The Big Lebowski. Period.
TV series
The Office and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are my favs. Apart from them, a couple of other comedy shows as well.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
5 months of Erasmus in beautiful town Uppsala. Still miss the atmosphere there.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am very enthusiastic to learn your language, culture and history. Plus, even though I have a huge interest in music, I don't know music theory and composing music, therefore I am willing to learn anything related to music.
What I Can Share with Hosts
- Music suggestions
- Beginner guitar tricks
- Advanced guitar tricks that I can't pull off as well
- Random facts about everything
- Deep talks if drunk enough
- Boring conversations about history and politics
- Can fix your computer. Don't expect too much though.
