I have always considered myself a 21st century Indiana Jones (no artefact stealing though) but I might be just a librarian/teacher (my actual jobs) who likes to travel and politely explore this planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being kinda spontaneous I never know where I am going to sleep tomorrow - unless I have to go to work the next day - in such case my bed is my kingdom and final destination. I enjoy talking to people but can get easily overwhelmed sometimes - Couchsurfing offers just the right amount of the good things 🙂

Interests

Looking at the rain

I love jogging and cycling. Also swimming but I'm shy so waiting for my own olympic pool!

Morning gym, smell of coffee and sensation of cold crisp mornings

• books

Music, Movies, and Books

Paul Auster, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Thomas Hardy, definitely not Orhan Pamuk (actually The Museum of Innocence was quite good, mainly after visiting it)
Update: changed my opinion on Orhan Pamuk and added Elif Şafak on my "yes" list

Doctor Who, South Park and such, Penny Dreadful, Black Mirror, DIRK GENTLY! :)

Ian Dury, Princess Chelsea, Mabel Matiz, Jefferson Airplane

Movies... difficult to tell given my rubbish memory but make them with dinosaurs or a deep thought and I'm in :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got my bottom bitten in the middle of the biggest square in a muslim country by another guy.

Foolishly took a job with almost no salary in a new country and survived.

Never forgot my sister's birthday (30 and counting)
