About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel to the moon and back

ABOUT ME

Easy going, looking for adventure. I like music, happy people, the rain and the sun and the unexpected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I can only offer you my company, hang out, show you the city and maybe take you on one day trips around Cluj as soon as I fix my car :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spent a few nights in London. It was great.
Spent a few nights in Novosibirsk and met some of the greatest people I ever met. It really changed my life.
Met interesting people with loads of crazy stories.

Interests

I love nature, I like reading, playing the guitar, travelling, meeting all sorts of people etc. (the usual). I have started to develop a passion for orchids recently.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Russian music (the kind that made it into the soundtrack of Брат + some pop bands like Serebro, cause the girls are pretty), Belorussian (J-Mors, ) Ukrainian music (Океан Ельзи, Гайдамаки etc. )Spanish music (Oreja de Van Gogh, Paco de Lucia, Silvio Rodriguez, Bunkers etc.), a various mixture of Mongolian, Uzbek, Kazach, Ethiopian and other traditional songs from various parts of the world (I appreciate traditional music, except Romanian), RHCP, indie rock, indie folk (I actually spend a lot of time exploring music on youtube).
Books: anything written by Nabokov (esp. short stories such as Mashenka or The cloud, the lake and the tower), Russian literature (Master and Margarita, The Idiot, etc), I like reading about mythology, religions and stuff like that, I like Lord of the Rings and Michael Ende's "Neverending story" (I like fantasy).
Movies: I like all types of movies, but lately I watch mostly Anime (I love studio Ghibli). I enjoy watching movies in old style cinemas (I don't like 3 D)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sure... I walked barefoot on broken glass, but that's not that amazing cause some walk on burning coals. I did give up everything at one point to go to the other side of the world and that felt like jumping out of a plane with no parachute and it felt really amazing cause there isn't anything more amazing than travelling, but as a couchsurfer you probably know that already so anything I would write here would not surprise you.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ha! You teach me please! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some interesting stories, some dust from the road, some old songs (if I get a guitar), something to drink (a glass of wine, a pint of beer, a cup of tea... depending on the situation).
