Spiritual seeker who wants to find his place in this world. When I don't have the means to travel I simply get lost in books and art. My preferred method of long distance travel is hitchhiking because it saves me money and it's more fun (knowing people, learning things, listening to stories), second favourite method is mountain-biking.

A place to spend the night for free in good local company is a fundamental right, not a privilege. I would like to live in a world where hospitality is the norm, and when I'm in hosting mode I do my best to contribute to that vision. :-)

I finished Art School and an Engineering University in Romania,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need to expand my Universe - know more people, visit more places, learn different languages..

Interests

FOREVER LEARNING / GROWING! (see tags) Painting and reading are my top interests at the moment. Sometimes I sell my paintings because I hate clutter and I give away things I don't use - MINIMALIST attitude. I love riding my bike on mountain trails or cross-country, I tried small (1 to 3 days) trips of cyclotourism but at the moment I don't really enjoy it when my bike is so loaded. I have a folding MTB so it's easy for me to take the train or hitchhike with it.
