Honesty leads to purpose

ABOUT ME

I'm am a funny slim man of awkward and creative intelligence. I am social, friendly and easily entertained. I joke when I'm nervous and when I see a joke present that no one has said yet. I like to ponder on the meaning of things, but that doesn't mean that I produce something of worth throughout my pondering. I like to be surrounded by people, which is kind of a safe environment for me. I hate being alone, but I realize that all of our greatest strengths come from meeting ourselves alone so everyday I'm learning how to be with myself.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is a mixture of three different points: create, play and learn. These three things are the way I personally find meaning and joy in life. Each event, activity and occurrence have all of these components in various degree (Can you break this phenomenon into elements and play with them to create something worth learning?). And if you can't see them then there are two plausible answers - the thing you're witnessing doesn't have any personal meaning or you are not looking hard enough. And don't get me wrong if it doesn't have meaning, that doesn't mean that it cannot be pleasurable... Joy and pleasure are two different things to me ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just started so I participate by writing this profile :)
But I would like to host, travel and hang-out with people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None on this profile. I stayed with a couple of people, but it was arranged by my friends. So I would like to say that none. Since it was not planned by me, it was kind of a different experience.

Interests

education, creativity, fantasy, events, psychology, people, all sorts of games, idea appreciation, "being shocked at the fact that we are in the future", dancing, music, dancing, books, running, nature... Damn this is a hard question. SO basically I enjoy life and all of the turbulance and heavy mind machinery that comes with it. All the good and bad emotional bagage and grocery lists that we have to deal with.

Music, Movies, and Books

oh boy... I won't go too descriptive with this.
Movies.
Ok people tell me that I have a really low bar when it comes to criticism to movies. And I agree with those people. I enjoy a stupid movie, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the quality of great movies. My top list would be: Pulp fiction, Shawshank, Four rooms, Revolver, The fountain, The dark knight, a clockwork orange, rent.. yeah no. I just can't list all of them.
Music.
Currently The lumineers, Mumford and sons, Fever ray, patrice, matisyahu, bob marley, parov stelar, florence and the machine, classical music, the beatles. I enjoy all genres as long as the music is interesting and entertaining. I prefer music that has instruments, but there were a couple of electronic creations that I appreciated.
Books.
I read really sporadicaly and also whatever. I like historical books, mafia books, fantasy books and so on. The only genre that I find difficult is science fiction. I will always be a devoted fan of Terry Pratchet. His writing style is the style I appreciate the most. Flawless and deep knowledge of language. Endless creativity. An intricate and intelligent plot that reflects on the basic conditions of life. The smartest humour I have ever seen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Haven't done it yet.

I have seen a lot of amazing things. It depends on what you consider amazing. If you think about it, trees are amazing and I see them everyday. ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Love this idea.

Um ok, I don't know.. How to play the harmonica. Various teambuilding and creativity games. How to ask reflective questions. I definitely need to think a bit more about this.
