About Me

I consider myself a very lucky person: I have a roof over my head, water and food to eat and drink, enough money to enjoy the life and a job which I love.

I enjoy deep conversations about science, IT, ecomonics, future and human beings. Although I enjoy small talk and foolishness too :)

Recently I re-gained huge interest in sports and fitness, so I've started trail-running. In addition to that, I got a dream to complete an Ironman race. Huge amount of sweat and tears ahead :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At current moment I'm quite uncertain what to do next in my life: I live in one of the best countries in the world in terms of life quality, I have a well-payed, exciting and responsible job and a small social circle I happen to enjoy to spend time with. But I have a feeling I don't live my life on its whole, that the world has so much more to offer to me. So here I'm seeking new travel ideas, inspiration or just casual stories about your adventures. And, of course, best food recipes from your homeland :)

Survived 16 days in Himalayas.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hm, this one is tricky. I'm 100% sure I can learn something from everyone of you.

If you're a hiking or photography fan then we'll spend hours talking. If you're a cooking god and have a few spare hours to teach me how to cook your favorite food, you'll make one person in this world a lot happier :)
If you're a tech geek, or you work in IT or you're studying in similar field, I can share my experiences as well.
