About Me

I always run against a stone wall with that question... I can tell you a lot of things about me, but they will unravel as the conversation unravels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I created the account for a visit to Instanbul that I was planning and I needed a place to stay.

But then I discovered the amazing feature "Wants to meet up" and I just thought that it was great! Maybe it could be one of the few examples of technology ACTUALLY encouraging ACTUAL human communication, instead of making as estranged to one another. So, yeah, it sounds really nice.

Also, I have heard a lot of great things about Couchsurfing over the years, and to be honest I don't know why I waited so long to create an account.

Interests

Music (playing the electric guitar, composition, songwriting, sound production)

Literature (mainly authorship, but I like to read too from time to time)

Cinema (watching lots of movies and a few series, with a passion for the work of the director and writer, as well as a keen eyes for the acting)

Pen and Paper games, as player and as storyteller too (World of Darkness, Dungeons and Dragons)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I couldn't name one, I can't see any of the things I've done as "amazing".

I guess, one "amazing" thing could be...uh, skydiving or something. But I have never been an adrenaline junkie, neither have I traveled a lot in my life, so I don't have anything like that, sorry.

Teach, Learn, Share

"The only thing you know for sure on this earth is "I think therefore I am." You know that you exist, anything past that is open to interpretation."
**Jim Jeffries - Bare **
