Hi, I'm an occasional traveler seeking to get know both the invaluable experiences of other people and their country's beautiful nature.

The story of my life would not make a book that much interesting to go too much in detail, so let's just say that I have obtained a degree in philosophy in the recent past and since then I've been working in administration of research and research policy in my country. But job is a job, right?

Apart from that I spend my time mostly writing, reading, listening to music, playing in a band, and going to the movies, (not making them though, with regrets), all this fun stuff that makes world a little bit less serious, thank God :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the best thing for travelers since the invention of roads.

I had some great experiences with travelling throughout Europe, apart from having a roof over your head, everyone you meet has something to tell you or show you, be it while walking in the city or just having a small dinner and drink in the evening.

Interests

People

Reading, writing, languages, talking, debating, chatting. It seems that for some reason I like words. And tones as well. Music has always been something of a mistress to me. I play the saxophone and the guitar a bit.

As for the sports, I play a lot of basketball, also I have been doing some running and playing badminton. All kinds of games suit me though, including chess and cards.

Some other things I like: breakfast, cooking, french culture, garden parties, night swimming, amateur gardening and more :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly alternative rock, rap, electronic, jazz... depends on the mood :-)

Lately: Oldies & 60s, Country, Jazz à la Homeland, Morphine, Dexter Gordon

Before that: The Smiths, Radiohead, A Tribe called quest, The Roots

Movies: all of them, except for those pretentious artier-than-thou boring intellectualy flat daubs

Books: Kafka, Hrabal, Steinbeck, Faulkner, Dostoevsky...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not having been struck by lightning. Parachute drop. Oh memories...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook some, share a story... It would be great if someone taught me to play the piano, but that might be overstaying the welcome, as they say fish and visitors stink after three days :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts
