About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing my Master's thesis...

ABOUT ME

I enjoy good humor (intellectual and sarcastic is my favorite), good music, good books, good theater and films and good art.

I love traveling, meeting people with opinions about things that matter to them. I love taking photos of emotions and these special moments in life you have.

And I like to have long discussions on the topics listed above. And then some. I'm a good listener, definitely not a blabber. But if there's a topic that I care about, I speak my mind.

NB! If you think you're an amazing guy and seek having fun with the CS women, better stop now and go to a place where single meet single. CS is NOT for something you've seen from "Euro Trip". And if you think it is, your place is definitely not on my profile.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything happens for a reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted friends and their friends and even random travellers on my couch / floor for as long as I remember. And given a chance I'll continue doing it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've lived with a CouchSurfer as my flatmate, so I heard a lot of good things about the organization. And truth to tell, probably some of the people I've hosted are actually members now or have been that before.

Overall the experience has been good. I enjoy helping out as I know that it's good to have a good host to get connected to the place. I hope that as time goes on, I'll have many good definite CS experiences to share!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love everything that's made with thought and passion. And if it's a bit weird, the better. Like the series of Doctor Who and the movie "Donnie Darko" (which by the way has the most amazing soundtrack) – the latter goes also to "Submarine" and its soundtrack by the wonderful Alex Turner. Like the music of The Beatles, Coldplay, Muse and many other artists I enjoy. Like the classical books of Shakespeare, the poetry of Lord Byron and the stories of Oscar Wilde. As you can see, I'm a sucker for almost anything British, whether it's music, movies or books :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've trusted people and am proud of it. Call me naive, but I am convinced you should not expect the worst to happen but rather hope for the best – and the best will come!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught children to know Estonia and Romania, youngsters to know rules in media and ethics, but other than that I can just share the knowledge and opinions that I have, provided you're interested in it. Let's start talking and see what we have to share or learn from each other!
