I am easy going and I always try to make the best out of every situation. If something goes bad or not according to plan I look at it as an opportunity rather than an obstacle.

PHILOSOPHY
That thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you is usually what you need to find, and finding it is a matter of getting lost.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is very important for me and I listen to a variety of genres and bands, including:
Mars Volta, At the drive-in, Strokes, Interpol
Opeth, Slayer, Metallica
Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones
Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck
Knife, Royksopp

Movies I can spend a whole day watching without standing up, especially if hung over. Some of my recent favorites are Cashback and Perks of being a wallflower.

Sometimes I read a lot but sometimes nothing for a couple of months. Some books I have read lately and enjoyed are: Dorian Grey, War and Peace, 1984, Shantaram, Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, Siddhartha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked to Everest Base Camp, 12 days there and back, max altitude 5545 meters

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have found that people are very interested in meeting a person from a country with only 320.000 inhabitants. So I have tried to give them some insight into what life is like there. I could also recommend music, movies and books from there.
