CURRENT MISSION

Based in and out of Cluj-Napoca.

Travel journey 2023-2024: Pakistan to Taiwan

This has changed who I am and how I understand the world on many levels. I find myself in a process of exploration, discovery and unfolding. I have done things I never thought I would or could do and I have ended up in places I never knew existed. This journey is a work in process and I don’t know where it will take me in the end.

Favorite quote:
“All the happiness that one finds in the world,
Comes from wishing happiness for others.
All the suffering one finds in the world
Comes from wanting happiness for oneself.”

ABOUT ME

Hey. I'm Andrei from Romania. I grew up in the beautiful region of Transilvania in Romania. I studied in Spain and I travelled Asia for a while.

I love meditation, mountains and knowledge…and people…and experiences and learning.

I practice Reiki. I’m contact improvisation dancer.

I constantly try to challenge myself, my beliefs and my worldview.

I am very open to learning new things, hearing the stories of other people and sharing my own experiences. I love connecting with people and hearing new perspectives. I love depth and profoundness.

I love discovering, I love experiencing, I love connecting.

Finally, I believe that it's very important to be respectful in people's homes, so I promise I wont make a mess or anything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wherever I travel, I try to learn as much as I can from locals, by living, working and connecting with them.

That's why I joined Couchsurfing, to be able to share moments with locals, listen to their stories and customs and to connect more deeply with people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to many diverse artists from various cultures and places.
Islamic sufi music. Mantras. African jazz. Manu Chao. Leonard Cohen.
I like Herman Hesse’s books. I loved Master and Margarita from Bulgakov. I like Carl Jung.
