ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Golden Rule and the three wise monkeys principle.

There are no universal answers. Except for, perhaps, 42.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I like about the idea of CS is that it's like the Internet. It can get you everywhere. Let's you reach the distances you could never think you could. Let's you reach different people and finally let the different people reach out to you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies I do watch. I like independent authors, but I do occasionally enjoy a blockbuster too.
Music I do listen to. Classic rock, some metal, jazz, well, blues too, and oldies, but electronica is no stranger either... It's all about feelings.
Yoda like I speak. Why, I don't know.
Books I rarely read. The force is not so strong with those.
