CURRENT MISSION

trying to make sense of this constant chaos of life

ABOUT ME

ask my friends would i guess .... trying to discover as much as possible about what this world has to offer...good-quality music of all sorts, travelling as much as possible, hang out with friendly & genuine people, volunteering, and in general enjoy every minute of this life!

PHILOSOPHY

carpe diem, lost generation!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

it's been a lot of time since i participated in CS on an active basis, now life is more about obligations than pleasure but you never forget to treat yourself with one!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amai and his overwhelming throat singing
Anetta - watch out I'm coming to London
Jack O'Keeffe, the legendary Jack O'Keeffe!
Andreas took us to the highest tips of Berlin

And more to come I hope!

Interests

life is all about interests and passions, isn't it. so one of mine has always been music. i listen, discover, play, freak out, cry, smile, yes, i'm a little strange in this respect. i'm also a terrible news-addict, even though i really don't believe that "if it's on the TV, it's true". years of media studies have done a pretty good job so i like to analyse, criticise and theorise and other -ise about anything that has to do with the media or society or culture in general, and some people say i'm damn good at it so beware, rhaarh. another important thing is that i'm extremely fond of irony and sarcasm but i often seem not to get the right tone, merde. also, my hatred towards all morning activities has become passion so if you happen to talk to me between 7-11 am, please don't expect any decent level of intellect.. haha.. on the other hand i do enjoy sharing common values, beers and laughs so the best outcome of the perfect CS experience would be just that!!
