Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's amazing. And to meet new people obviously. Having guests makes a house a better place to live.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: jazz, psychedelic, indie, folk, ambient, house, disco, afrobeat...

Movies: vibey dark or nostalgic films, Blade Runner, that sort of thing :)

Books: Tolkien, Philip K. Dick, Robert Silverberg, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, but I also like to read non-fiction, especially on philosophy, media theory, history, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done quite a bit of hitch hiking. One morning I woke up hung over in a friend's flat in Budapest, and on the same day I was swimming with a naked Slovenian family in the ice cold river Idrijca. What a world!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can do a Tarot reading for you!

Language-wise I can help you practice English and teach you some Slovak/Czech phrases, too.

I play guitar pretty well and I also produce music with Ableton Live.

I'm a decent software engineer and know quite a bit about graphics/audio processing, new media art etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm more than happy to cook for my hosts! A range of pretty decent food including Slovakian, Hungarian, African, Asian, or weird mashups I like to make as well.

I can teach you a bit of coding, how to make websites etc. I specialise in audio/graphics and interactive art programming.

Anyone who hosts me has a guaranteed place to stay in Berlin :)
