About Me

CURRENT MISSION

1. Participate in battle against cancer. 2.To convince the UK to go back to using hitchhiking again.

ABOUT ME

Others would probably say that I'm a little too lazy, too nice to everyone, but a good listener and travel companion.

PHILOSOPHY

In general, live and let others live their life the way they want, but it changes daily.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couchsurfing, but life is looking up, since I found out about it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm still hoping to make one happen. I find that everybody that I contacted replies quite quickly, so that's good.

Interests

Sports-wise: hiking, bouldering, volleyball, basketball and snowboarding when I get the chance. I do a little juggling as well and I'm trying to master the guitar. Travelling obviously.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Brief History of Everything, A Brief History of Time, Eating Animals, all Tolkien's books

Movies that I found worth watching: Matrix trilogy, Lord of the Rings trilogy, 12 monkeys, Fanny and Alexander, 8 and a half

The roots of rock like Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, but I enjoy most kinds of music like majority of people nowadays. I guess classic FM (UK) and KCRW eclectic24 are my daily music providers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd have to say standing on top of Musala in Bulgaria, the highest peak in Rila Mountains was one fo those moments.

Another one was when I was visiting an animal park outside Beijing where predators like tigers, lions, wolves and bears walked just outside the car I was in.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a good camper and know a little bit about medicine, disease, cancer in particular, having studied genetics.

I would like to learn everyday crafts like,say, building a canoe, but perhaps social skills as well.

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Austria, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Romania, Scotland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, Wales

Countries I’ve Lived In

England, Poland
