Her majesty's secret service

ABOUT ME

I enjoy freedom. I enjoy life :-)

I like walking the cities, hiking, taking photos everywhere. Taking photos is also my job (sort of).

I read XKCD - click here to see my fav :)

I am a tea drinker - earl grey, darjeeling, yunnan.

I'm a calm person.

A little of aviation freak - taking photos of aircraft, airports etc... One day I'm probably gonna get busted by airport police as a threat for national security :)

I like Perry Bible Fellowship webcomic. Quite absurd :>

Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons contributor.

Hey, have you noticed that the first letters of the languages I speak spell: PEGAS? I just need to learn two more, Ukrainian and Spanish, and it's going to spell PEGASUS! Wouldn't that be cool? Pegasus is a cool creature, especially when armed with two side-cannons, a rocket launcher and laser eyes and put at the front line of an army of raptors! Can you think anything cooler? :P

PHILOSOPHY

Be good for the world, the world will be good for you.

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some pre-Couchsurfing experiences, which were more kind of surprising intrusions into people's houses/barns/garages/power plants :) You know: me, my bike and "My tent is totally wet, it's raining, have you got any dry place to stay for free?" :) There are still some good people on Earth ;)
