ABOUT ME
I'm searching for things I can be passionate about in my life right now. I'm discovering that I have a lot in common with many different people and trying to understand myself and people that surround me. I'm introverted and calm most of the time. But I feel strongly about my ideas (like the idea that it's important to take care of the environment and to be as conscious as possible). I strive to be as honest as possible and take the consequences :) And I love to talk about things that amaze and inspire me.
PHILOSOPHY
Cause and effect. Refer to Buddha if you want it explained.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've hosted, I've been a guest. I've met inspiring people :) I like to show people around and discover new things about my city.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
All the best. I could easily imagine being friends with almost everyone I've met so far. A lot of great people :) That's the essence of CS, in my opinion.

Music, Movies, and Books
MOVIES:
I like every movie that I feel a sincere emotion in. Most recently watched: The science of Sleep, The Grizzly Man, Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring)
MUSIC:
Still searching! Unbelievable, but I can't hold on to any one style long. I've just recently discovered that local artists are great (Rambo Amadeus, S.A.R.S). Pauline Croze and Oren Lavie are two new beautiful discoveries :)
BOOKS:
The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro,
The Process by Franz Kafka (I love his work)
Everything Dostoyevski
Anna Karenina
Lolita
The Divine Comedy is beautiful
I like reading biographies and learning about people's lives.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I took part in a buddhist seminar recently. It's not something most people say WOW! about, but I was deeply impressed by all everything I experienced there.
