ABOUT ME

Hi, I am world curious person who likes meeting and getting to know people from different parts of the globe. I am interested in pretty much everything. I am keen on doing sports. I used to practice judo for most of my life, I also ski and sail a lot. I love music, especially live. I wouldn't join couchsurfing if didn't like travelling of course. When I visit other country I always try to avoid sleeping in fancy hotels or driving main roads. It is my way to gain more opportunities to meet local people. Now couchsurfing gives me much more than that! As for my social life I like to go out a lot however I am not party animal, I prefer wild nature than cities. My friends say that I am friendly, natural and direct person. I confirm that:)

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy with what you've got. Appreciate the small pleasures of life. Always have time for others. Treat Mother Nature with respect. Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever!!!
