About Me

I am a freelance translator and I love this job mainly for the flexibility it gives me. I don't like planning much ahead and enjoy the present, trying not to get caught in anxiety over the future. Easy-going and uncomplicated. Am very health-conscious regarding nutrition and workout. However, smoking and booze is my guilty pleasure (trying to keep it low). I am striving to live a life with the utmost freedom. Therein fits my rock climbing, which I m completely absorbed in. I m game for everything!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of couchsurfing, giving, taking and sharing. Haven't been much active with it yet. I would like to host more, but didn't always have the opportunity with my accommodation facilities.

Interests

Am very enthusiastic about rock climbing, though i m not really advanced. Trying to push my limits always a bit... Love the mountains, and outdoor activities in general!
Love martial arts, have just stopped Muay Thai currently.
Political and social issues are very much of interest to me and i find it important to be active about certain issues...
I love cooking - sometimes - with the challenge to cook super tasty and nutritious/healthy foods

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: have seen too many crappy ones! Directors I appreciate: Tony Gatlif; Jim Jarmusch; Peter Greenaway; Kim Ki-duk ...
Music: love it! Much different stuff: Jazz, Blues, Swing, Ethnic, Punk & others...
I don't read as much as i would like to. I think it is a concentration problem... e.g. Charles Bukowski, Milan Kundera; and ofcourse adventures are always goood!
