About Me

CURRENT MISSION

any way the wind blows

ABOUT ME

Miss Entropy. Rather introvert one.. I really enjoy being on my own & alone, improvisation over plans & agendas. Prefer to travel alone & hitchhiking - that dizzying mix of dependence & ultimate freedom - lately haven't done any such though.
To stay in comfort zone I would sleep long hours, get rid of phone for good, never get far away from my bicycle and have a combination of black coffee + daily newspaper every morning. But it's ok to leave these comforts for as long as I'm certain to get them back at some point ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Find the world in the grain of sand, as William Blake once wrote. My take on this - if you look closely enough, you're bound to see all is all and one at the same time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Purely potential: a host & a surfer

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've tried hosting, but it never works out - changes of agendas etc., so now I'm more interested in surfing - some travels sheduled for upcoming months.

Interests

Coffee for good.
Random & floating - human mind, animal instincts, improvisation - both in movement & as a concept, bicycling till knees go squeeking, real conversations, random conversations.

  • animals
  • coffee
  • traveling
  • bouldering
  • surfing
  • rock climbing
  • hitchhiking

Music, Movies, and Books

Listening to all sorts of stuff, but probably life would be quite different without the Pixies - wouldn't it? Currently overwhelmed by the Growlers, Mulatu Astatke, Zita Swoon & Gonzalez though.

Authors - Karen Blixen, Lawrence Durrell, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Peter Beard, Henry Miller, Flynn O'Brien, Tove Jansson, Wilhelm Hauff, Evelyn Waugh etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

IMHO lots of amazing experiences... but stories are better to be told live - so ask me if we meet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a bit about coffee and I love sharing this knowledge and skills.
What I'd like to learn? Climbing/ bouldering is the latest on my list.
