About Me

I'm very friendly and outgoing person who loves to joke around but do enjoy deeper conversations as well. My friends tell me I'm a very genuine and solid friend, hopefully I'm not just buying into their sweet nothings.

I like to entertain and to be entertained both by arts and music and in general by people.

I played guitar in a band when i was in my teens. We did pretty well but not well enough(mwaaa!). According to my sister my famous words back in the day (I actually don't remember saying this) was " by the time i'm 20 I'll either be famous or depressed"...haha...i guess i was depressed. Poor me. Ah well, good i stayed in school. :) These days I'm learning how to play classical guitar which is very different and really amazing experience. I also play resident DJ at my burning man camp - Strangelove. And that's as far as I'll say re Burningman as that's a topic that will easily take us away into another universe (but you should come check it out!).

I build and develop residential homes for a living and for personal fun I've been building some of my own furniture and found it to be a really fun and rewarding exeprience. If you come to visit me I would love to show you what I've done.

As much as i like my home, i love to be outside enjoying the sun. I ride bicycles and a motorcycle and love to go hiking, camping, exploring, and ofcourse food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was doing a bicycle tour with a couple of friends through north california and when we were in Big Sur campgrounds a couple from Europe (Italian fella and an Russian girl) asked us if they can share our spot. Long story short we hung out for a couple of days and later i invited them to crash at my place and they did for 4nights. I had such a great time hosting them that it was some of the best memories. Next year i traveled to Milano and stayed with my now friend Andrea. That's how i got interested in couchsurfing.
