ABOUT ME

Freelance web developer discovering Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not religious and I don't support any political party or agenda. I try to avoid ideologies: I find them blinding and restricting.

I don't believe in mottos either, but if I did it could be something like this: stay neutral, stand strong, be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only a little CouchSurfing experience this far, but everything I've experienced has been quite nice!

The best thing CS has ever offered me was a camping trip to Asov sea with my Ukrainian friends. That was simply awesome.

Interests

Downhill skiing, surfing, DJing, pool. Deep powder, smooth waves, fat beats, amazing people. Cheap beer, great convos, excellent food. Tech, politics, randomness of people and the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Electronic, punk, alt rock, indie. All the good movies. I don't read much, but in the past couple of years I've tried to catch up with the books I should have read but I never did. I prefer biographies.

And I'm not kidding when I say Arnold Schwarzeneggers life story is the most interesting I've read this far!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rocky Mountains, BC. Most amazing place I've ever been or skied. I've never had such a peaceful feeling as when climbing up the Kicking Horse mountain.

Hendaye in France for very tender waves for learning how to surf. Never forget how the sea looked when sun set behind the mountains and moon started to shine it's light to the beach.

Teach, Learn, Share

Once I learned to do an origami crane when I was drunk, but I forgot it when I got sober! :(
