ABOUT ME

http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=664575452

Siema Ziom Sofasurfers :)

about me?
i dont know where to start...so ill start with this first of all im not much help if your looking for advice on london, i moved to dublin when i was 18 and i have to be honest it is the best thing that has happened to me! :) and when i did live in london i was always hanging around the suburbs because of basically cheap drink and more down to earth people :) oh and i also lived there hehe but i wouldnt recommend it as a tourist destination ;)

i've living in dublin for nearly 3 years now but often get confused for some different random nationalities around the world! i mean ive heard it all from south africa, new zealand, french, switzerland or if your from irelands midlands i get 'hungarian with a polish twist!' i mean it baffles me that they even know what a hungarian sounds like but believe me i am english! ireland has just severely damaged my accent ;) but if you want to hear a proper english accent dont watch skins and think thats it! that crappy bristol accent is not the real english haha check out the tv show misfits i love it and its much better than skins! :)

season 1 episode 1:

but anyway this is the about me section right?? so ill move on :), I im very passionate about music, i mean why else would i attend a shitload of music festivals each year, own 9 days worth of songs and own a pair of €300 headphones? seriously! music is just amazing!!! :)

more about me?
I also like good pubs to chat and stuff, wakeboarding whenever im back in england, checking out the buskers on temple bar and just chillaxing in the park on a nice summers day

what else?
I love jungle speed, this game is soo addictive ahhh awesomeness! :) i have a new years resolution for 2011 to learn to play the guitar, i have had people cast their doubts on me already but they also did the same whn i said that i was going to save up £2000 and go to budapest and have surgery on my teeth, but alas here i am writing this with my pearly whites, never listen to doubt...doubt is a liar!!!

I love Guinness, fish and chips, bangers and mash and Fridays! Friday, its the time to let yourself be free!

PHILOSOPHY

'It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth, and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.'

you have to embrace life! when any chance arrives you have to grab it by the horns and take it!, i mean thats what i feel lifes all about...the enjoyment and the fun along the way :) i mean sure us couchsurfers are a crazy bunch (to say the least! :P) but remember "immature" is just another word for people who don't know how to have fun! =]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well cs has had a big impact on my life since i moved here, i have made a lot of friends here and they changed me from a social recluse to someone who just loves to get out there and live there life!! :) so i return the favour by hosting csers and learning a lot from them by hearing about their travels and stuff,

but its not just dublin where cs has been awesome...i have surfed and been to meetings in berlin, london, barcelona, brussels and budapest

and just recently i have travelled around poland! i met so many cool people in wroclaw, krakow, warsaw, bialystok (yes bialystok!! :P), malbork, gydnia, gdansk, justarnia and at the heineken open'er festival! it was the first time i was travelling around a foreign country by train on my own and it was full of awesomeness and surprises and this wouldnt have been possible without the couchsurfers that i met there along the way! :D so if any of you are reading this..thank youuu!! :)

i am really hoping to travel to australia in 2 years so i love learning from you guys! seriously :)

i also surf and attend the odd meeting or two ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

well as you you saw above im a great admirer of John Frusciante and his work with the red hot chili peppers as well as a solo artist, love how he can play guitar.

and then there is Jack White, who is just a god on the guitar!! i love the music he creates with The White Stripes and The Dead Weather but more so with the stripes, i mean considering that it is only him and Meg White and they can create music like that, its just incredible!!

Im also a great fan of Alex Turner and his songwriting skills for the Arctic Monkeys, i love the music he writes!! and with Matt Helders on the drums...simply awesome music

i am a big fan of Kanye West too, i know he can be a bit of an idiot sometimes like with the whole Taylor Swift thing etc. but considering the music he is able to write and produce, all i can see is a musical genius!!

also a great lover of musicains making it round where i used to live!! fair play to you M.I.A, Eliza Doolittle, Kate Nash, Laura Marling....you guys rock!!

others would include Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, N.E.R.D., Arcade Fire, Interpol, Pulp, PJ Harvey, The Wombats, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, Fat Freddys Drop, The Strokes, Jimi Hendrix, MGMT, Santogold, Kings Of Leon among others....

Tv?? PRISON BREAK!
man i have an addiction for this show! even though if watch it many times i still cant get enough of it hehe, i think i fell in love with my housemate malgorzata when she bought the season 1-4 boxset!! haha ^^
