About Me

Get up with a smile and be sure that everything will be all right :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to know with new people while travellig is part of the whole experience! One can earn a lot from such meetings. You feel the place in a very specific way every time. This also broadens your mind set, gives you unique kind of human knowledge. And I believe CouchSurfing is exactly about this!
... and I always keep in mind that life never meets you with somebody without purpose!

Interests

I'm intrested in art as a whole! I've been into art since I can remember. But even though I like the old masters, I prefer exploring the contemporary art scene. Also drawing, picture books, typography, photography, product and interior design are among my favourites!
I try to eat more homemade healthy food and live in a somehow more natural way... simple minimalistic way.
Walks in nature are something I do quite often.
I belive in the power of smile!

Music, Movies, and Books

From alternative rock through jazz and crossover to classic and contemporary instrumental. But I can say that every mood has "favourite music"!
Anyway, some names: The Black Keys, Four-tet, Rhye, Kottarashky, Erik Truffaz, Ludovico Einaudi, Philip Glass...
My movie taste is quite artsy – I like those who inspire imagination and give subject to think, not mainstream. The early Wim Wenders is among my favourite directors, I enjoy Jim Jarmush, Kubrik, Tarkovski, Parajanov etc.
I'm curious to read old children fairytales and folk literature. Like to read books on psychology, early children development, human brain. Also love concept photography books. I can spend hours in a bookshop! I always read a book and imagine what book cover I can design for it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I consider amazing is to realize that your attitude about certain thing, has changed! Or to realize that something you really wanted in the past has actually happened.

Teach, Learn, Share

We learn during our whole life... and sharing is pure pleasure! I'm eager to discover new things of all kind and will share what I already know if you're interested!
