About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bringing the world together into one big salad, one couch at a time

ABOUT ME

Currently living back in Romania after some stints in Amsterdam and London. Started a food business.

I've got a couple of food trucks and restaurants to manage now and that takes quite a bit of my time so I don't know how able I'll be to host, but hit me up nonetheless.

I am open minded, fun, always in the mood for sharing a good story and having a nice conversation. Maybe expect parts of it to end up one way or another in a story or Vice, when I find the time to write there

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too important to be taken seriously

Cats rule, dogs drool

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Giving my couches to people. I had a white one. Now I've got this snazzy red one.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fair amount. It's been great!

Interests

Mostly watching movies, playing video games, writing the occasional article for some magazine, writing in my free time. I've taken up drawing again recently. I normally swing from one thing to another. From writing, drawing to films, but the thing that's remained a constant is writing. Having some fluff courses in film and writing helped keep it alive.

I like to have my coffee on a terrace and read a comic book or the news (when it's not raining).

Also burgers. And cats

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This one time I literally fell with a window from the first floor while trying to recover my cigarettes. The time when Liverpool won the Champions League in 2005 and 2019. Eating bugs. The list can go on.
