Overview
About Me
24 years old historian and Hebraist (in spe), farmer (kind of).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I haven't been in many countries, but I want to visit them. I want to experience other cultures with my own eyes. In the nearest future I am looking for a brief accomodation in Iceland. I also would love to inquire into archives and libraries in the search for further data on my thesis.
Interests
- video games
- chess
- lingustics

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: as probably most people nowadays, I have a very diverse musical taste. I have a thing for classical rock (70's and 80's, favourite bands: Blue Oyster Cult and Bijelo Dugme), electronic music (Fever Ray/The Knife, Royksopp), and many others (Gorillaz, Kaizers Orchestra, movie and video games OSTs etc.).
I haven't watched many movies, although there are a few that I adore. Snatch, Catch me if you can, Dark Knight, Fight Club (and the book too!).
My absolutely favourite belletristic book is Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Other than that... Witcher series, Song of Ice and Fire series, Catch 22, of course Lord of the Rings. Ender's Game was quite memorable for me too.
As for TV shows: Breaking Bad as my favourite, following in no particular order Supernatural, Preacher, Futurama,
Anime/manga: HunterxHunter is incredible, other than this masterpiece: Attack on Titan, Uzumaki, OnePunchMan.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Missed a long haul train to help an elder woman come back home.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can exchange a lot of thoughts on how history is written and how languages affect our perception. I love learning new languages, even though I haven't mastered those that I have been already studying. The harder language, the more I am interested. And I always love to hear about someone's academic essays.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I was told I make good sandwiches. Everyone can get a taste for him/ferself, I'll be glad to oblige. I also know a ton of irrelevant trivia which I can share.
