I'm an architect, living in Cluj Napoca. I'm an optimist and i like to laugh a lot, no, really, i laugh most of the time (sometimes that scares people). I'm a hippie at heart. I am a vegetarian (when i travel i am more flexitarian) that has the dream of becoming zero-waste one day. I have an infinite trust in people, I always see the best in them. I can engage in any type of conversation, from the most profound to the most silly ones. I like to fool around and do childish stuff. I'm to blame for several urban furniture/oversize toys that you can find in Cluj-Napoca area ( https://www.facebook.com/byBlajin/ ) I'm at the same time a dog person, a cat person, a penguin person, a unicorn person... you got the point. But I'm scared of rats and bugs. I think that a day without a smile is not worth waking up. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting, meeting up for coffees, beers, wines or just talks. Being hosted around the world.

Interests

Climbing, hiking, connecting with nature. Going to exhibitions - not just for the free drinks. I like doing puzzles and playing society games. Permaculture and ecology. Going to concerts with friends. I could listen to music every single second of my life - i think that your life deserves a soundtrack. I recently started taking lindy-hop, west coast swing, chinese language and salsa classes. I used to have a thing for scarves. Watching very good or very bad movies. Reading - but i have the bad habit of beginning 10 books at a time. I like doing handmade stuff like jewelry or clothes or furniture or little totally unuseful objects just for the fun of it.
