I don't want to quote others, but this definitely defines my present state of mind: "Rather than love, than money, than fame... give me truth".

But here is an original "Alex" quote:
"What's this world so full of care;
there's no time to stand; and stare."

And HERE is souLAbyss quote:
"My nationality is that of the country I am currently at..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Decided to travel the world indefinitely... A trip is not about the destination but rather about the journey - and the people we meet are what makes a journey special and unique. No better way to exchange culture and ideas than to meet up with local people and experience things together.

Interests

Travel, love the music (no world without it) and the silence (society is way too loud sometimes), reading books that make you think and challenge your emotional as well as your intellectual being, football (νους υγιης εν σωματι υγιη),

• culture
• books
• reading
• traveling
• music
• soccer

Music, Movies, and Books

No way to fit all my favorites in here, so a 2-song/movie/book limit:

Movies: Into the Wild (as you may have guessed from the quote); The Big Lebowski (always helps me relax and laugh; no matter what is troubling my mind before "play" is pressed...)

Songs (current favorites): Times Like These; Comfortably Numb.
All time favorites: Stairway to Heaven; Redemption Song.

Books: Jitterbug Perfume (Tom Robbins); If This Is A Man (Primo Levi).
