About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to find inner peace...and a place I can call "home"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I was most lucky to meet very interesting people through CS and benefited a lot from various group events and discussions! Looking forward having some more in the future!

Interests

I do like sports and outdoors activities, nature, art...and maybe other things.

  • arts
  • outdoor activities
  • sports

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Love European cinematography. Mostly the depressing stuff but I can easily take some Almodovar as well.
Lars von Trier, Ken Loach, István Szabó some of my favorites.
I can watch anything non-Hollywood and I'm sure I'll enjoy it!

Music: Love Leonard Cohen. Jazz and female vocals, ethnic some times...

Books: My favorite writer is Andre Dubus. Love his style and his heroes, male and female ones. prefer short stories over long novels. Enjoy Alice Monroe and recently I've been impressed by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning new stuff. So, I'll be more than willing to listen to anything I don't know about (and there is lots!!). What you can learn from me? Although part of my job is teaching, I definitely prefer learning to teaching. But if you insist we can discuss about language(s), brain, human cognition and stuff like that.
