About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live happily ever after....

ABOUT ME

Aside from being a lazy deadbed; apart from being an arrogant, boastful,ignorant,egotistical,unworldly and nervous thing; except for ocassional bursts of anger, evil temper, faulty habits and lack of focus in my life, I`m basically a perfect human being...

PHILOSOPHY

to put it precisely: a skeptical empiricist with libertarian and stoic overtones...But let`s forget about philosophies and categories since they are just a scholar`s play; life is too short to worry about them. I would rather have a fun with someone I disagree with (this is the case with most of the people with whom I like to hang out) than to sit with someone dull, though of the same personal philosophy or opinion.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some

Interests

Reading, poetry, songwriting,singing, guitars, hiking, cycling, science.When it comes to science and politics, almost everything of some significance easily gets my attention - I`m a slave of my innate intellectual curiosity and can`t stay focused on anything particular.
But I`m definitely not a nerdy scholar, I also like partying, boozing and turning most serious things into most hilarious jokes. Simply having good time. I love cooking, eating (local cuisine is the first thing I explore while travelling),I appreciate good wine, coffe and scotch whisky - I`m passionate about all these simple little joys...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That`s a hard question to answer. My vanity has not grown yet as big as to consider some of my deeds amazing (maybe it`s just a phony modesty). Concerning those seen, there are too many of them. I come across something really uplifting almost every day but I probably still do not have an experience that I would be willing to call the best moment of my life or so...
