About Me

After army service that made me hate racism and want to live with peace with everyone.
All is accepted, everything is talkable as long you dont harm others on the way.

I lived for one year in young community that working together in agriculture (mostly fruit picking)
The concept is to work yourself to the limits for individual challenge and satisfaction (7 tons of grapefruits in 1 day is not easy as it might sound) and so everyone benefits, you get more money, the farmer gets more product and the group gets better resume for later jobs, higher salary and so everyone benefits.
It works the same in any other aspects like sharing food, teaching and helping each other with your strong qualities. and thats in my opinion what CS is based upon, you give a little more and recieve much more in return.

I want to travel around the world and experience all the different things that i cant get by just sitting at home, taste a bit of everything and see as much as i can.

In 2017 i traveled 2 months in Nepal and india and later 7 month crossing Europe on my bicycle from Amsterdam to Turkey with long stops for volunteering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

going on a bike touring trip across Europe this summer. looking for opportunities to meet new people. finding friends all over the continent and getting to know each places by the eye of a local.
The most fun and memorable experiences i had during travelling was the people i met during the way.

Now back in my country and willing to give back all the hospitality i got and help other travelers on their way

Interests

My hobbies got changed so much through the years so probably it won't be accurate by the time i meet you but generaly i like natural and simple things, and learning a to do new things by myself is my mission.
I appreciate people that have unique lifestyle and are passionate about what they do.
Your little hidden talents like imitating disney character, touching your nose with your tongue and creating art from peel of banana are the things i like the most.
