About Me

Bouncy and curious about everything in the cities I visit. Night owl by nature, early bird if necessary. Reacting to architectural sites and stories told by locals with lots of oohs, wows, awws (and jaw drops). A little shy at first "Hey, nice to meet you", but radiant and talkative within the next 5 minutes. Enjoy good laugh, long walks, strong coffee. Absolutely in love with Italian art and lifestyle, esp. the concept of "il dolce far niente".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that a handshake of an enthusiastic traveller and a welcoming host can be listed among the most inspiring things ever. It's such an unparalleled feeling to see things the way locals see them, to feel their life rhythm if it was your own for a few days, to share your experience and worldview - it' something no bus tour or book can provide. So that's what I'm here for!

Music, Movies, and Books

🎼Rock ballads, alternative rock, electro, indie-pop, pop, folk - pretty much everything that is melodic and rhythmic. “Nickelback” - yes! “Imagine Dragons” - love them! “Bon Jovi” - yazzzz!!! Dance grooves approved just as well.
📚Give me any book really and I'll dive into it for the following couple of hours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Publicly declared my love to Macchiavelli in person when visiting Florence (to his bronze statue actually). Sometimes I think seeing the sculpture of him might be the only reason I visited this marvellous sity, with such a speed I trotted to it when I saw the Uffizzi Colonnade.
