About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To try out basejumping, to build my own motorbike and of course traveling.

ABOUT ME

Hey couchsurfers! Let me quickly introduce myself. My name is Alex and I'm a freediver, a big dreamer and a huge enthusiast! Well to be honest guys I don't like this kind of "about me" sections, because I believe we can truly get to know or understand someone only throught experience. For example it might be traveling, sharing your passions, simply spending together your free time...whatever, you name it. So as many couchsurfers here, I would like to meet a lot of interesting people, travelers and maybe I'll find new friends, who knows. Anyway I believe I'm very openminded person, definitely an extrovert and an easygoing guy. Yeah I know, who is not in this amazing community, right?

PHILOSOPHY

Listen to your heart and live every moment like it supposed to be the last one.
I would like also to point out my favourite quotes here:
If you a€™re not using your smile, you're like a man with a million dollars in the bank and no checkbook.- Les GiblinI can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. - Jimmy Dean

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like meeting new people and sharing our life stories. Where they came from, what they do and where they will go. It's just super interesting to look for some connections between people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I can say there are not many of them, but they are totally awesome.

Interests

Freediving in old, dark and flooded flooded quarries - floating in a cold water covered by darkness and silence where everything seems like you just visited totally different world or another planet. By the way if you are lucky enough, you can spoat a siren ;)

Then it would be running in mountains and forests, nature in general, ocean, self discovery, outdoor life, ambient music, dreaming, and a lot of other things.
