Почему я на Couchsurfing
I see myself as a a global citizen, having lived in three countries so far. During these lifetimes, I have met travellers from all walks of life and realised that there is such a thing as human connection between us strangers. I've hosted an surfed and can see myself continuing doing this occasionally to widen my perspective.
Музыка, кино и книги
My favourite films include Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch, Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity, and probably all of the Marvel films (Kevin Feige is a genius). I also adore films such as Paul Verhoeven's Black Book, and Paolo Genovese's Pefetti Sconosciuti. I review films on my own website and have been accredited by the Sydney Film Festival for the past three years now. My playlist includes a mix of easy-listening music. Lately, I've developed a liking to music by Odesza, Tycho, and the likes. I've also been really into binaural music - even using it to help explore my subconscious during sleep. Regarding literature, I enjoy reading children's books and non-fictions. My favorites include Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, Donna Karan's auto-biography, and Viktor E. Frankl's Man's search for meaning. I am currently finishing the Canterbury Tales [4 years running now...], A series of unfortunate events, and Deborah Lipstadt's Denial.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Probably sky diving at Lake Taupo in New Zealand. Amazing view. Great experience!
Учить, учиться, делиться
Let's share our life experiences, and views. If you want something technical, I can share my knowledge in computer programming :) Otherwise, I also enjoy cooking and baking and am happy to share that too.
Что я могу предложить хостам
People have been so nice and generous at CS. I have been hosted by a couple of generous and beautiful souls and I am grateful for all of that. When hosted, I can share my time and presence to my hosts with the essential respect for them and their private space.
Мои интересы
I seldom talk about my research in an off-work environment. I know, I should start being more vocal about my area of expertise and promote what is good in it. Outside of research, I am interested in meditation and philosophy. I yearn to be liberated from earthly and materialistic desires and focus on self-sufficiency and efficiency. When I find myself having some free time, I enjoy watching films.
