About Me

I consider myself a human of a world. Travel, travel and more travel - without trying other cultures, learning other language and being to other cities - I can't really get to know my city/country/language/people. Travelling spreads horizons and changes you a lot.
I've volunteered many times (any kinds - sport - FIFA/sailing/regby; economic/professional ; entertaining - Harley Days, etc.) when not involved in international projects. Also I am an international ambassador of my university. Study Project Management
I love spontaneous things because they usually leave best emotions ever.
Choosing between hiking and exploring a big city I'd prefer first. Nature will never stop fascinating me. I can spend hours, sitting in front of fire, singing guitar songs when with friends or enjoying silence and watching a night sky when alone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been to many countries and the thing I've learnt is that people make place and your impression of it. We travel to get new expiriences, get acquanted with new culture/history/language/cuisine. The easiest and best way to do so - meet locals, live with them, talk to them
