About Me

I'm a freelance designer from Romania (Transylvania to be more precise) that likes to travel, meet interesting people, work and have a good time :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Despite being a full time freelancer for over 6 years, I realized that I didn't really take advantage of the theoretical freedom that this type of career allows me to have...and I've decided to change that a little bit.
I started traveling and I fell in love with meeting people from different cultures. My experience on Couchsurfing was wonderful so far and I hope I'll get to give something back to the community once I get my place in the right conditions.

Music, Movies, and Books

I was a hardcore metalhead in my teenage years, but I've opened my list of preferences as time went by and I can't really associate myself with just one genre of music or one band... I love music as a whole :)

It's pretty much the same thing with Movies... I like a good story.

And as far as books go...I must admit I don't read a lot of fiction. Whenever I get a chance I read books about design, psychology or biographies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know...
I did the 3 Passes Trek in the Himalayas...and I traveled to 12 countries in 40 days on my own...
I don't know which one I'd describe to be more amazing. Both were a lot more difficult than I expected and a lot more insightful as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some design and freelancing stuff: some theory, Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, prototyping, wireframing, getting work, not going insane from working alone :)
I can also cook some good spicy food :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a pretty wide array of interests and I guess I can be good company in general...
I could probably help you or at least give you some advice about any design/software/internet-y type of things..
I can hold my liquor pretty damn well, I have a very good sense of direction and I'm fairly strong, so if we go out to party and you get...tired...I will carry you back home :D
