About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get to get to Brazil.

ABOUT ME

twenty-two year old generation "Y" wannabe who ended up in an advertising agency and whose lifetime objective shifted from writing another Great {Not-}American Novel to producing television drama shows about victims of disappointment and other disasters.

so, yeah, i am that artsy-pantsy, spiritually inclined and respectively confused kid who now spends their days working too hard and nights sleeping too little, but is willing to get some fun on the weekends. just not too much fun, you know, i gotta keep up the detached poet appearance after all.

PHILOSOPHY

first principle: never assume your reasons are more accurate than the other person's.

i guess i'm fairly open-minded. i see tolerance as a huge value, i avoid arguments, i know where is my place.

i'm unlikely to demand things of people, which would describe me as easy-going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

as for now, i'm seeking for couches because my otherwise confirmed host for my next month's trip to Brazil had seemingly proved herself unavailable because of external reasons. i'm kinda desperate.

when i'm done with Brazil and *gulp.* my thesis and moving to a new apartment possibly, i will likely open up my couch for you guys. i've got helluva love for my hometown and i like to show people round and hand more or less useful sightseeing tips.

Interests

arts, mostly film and literature, particularly the glimpses of high culture as it appears in objects of popular culture such as, say, television.

besides that, there's cooking, lounging, playing bridge, staring at interesting locations and more.

Music, Movies, and Books

too numerous to list, honestly.

teasers, off the top of my head : American Beauty, Battlestar Galactica, Elizabeth, Pedro Almodóvar, George Orwell, A Song of Ice and Fire, Weeds, John Irving, Lars Von Trier, Little Miss Sunshine, Six Feet Under, Angels in America, Der Untergang, Discworld, Olga Tokarczuk, Brokeback Mountain, enough? i guess it gives away i've a thing for quirky humor, delusional protagonists, conflicting expectations and the motif of letdown.

i don't really listen to any music though.

Countries I’ve Visited
