About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live and smile

ABOUT ME

Love beautiful gardens, forests, wild rivers, villages and well build cities as well.

I like going to parties where people drink and dance, but do not get drunk too much so I can still remember them at their best while having lot of fun.

After getting out of law school I jumped straight into work for one interesting company also involved in managing nonprofit educational projects which I found out very rewarding and sometimes I get even paid for it :)

Hope we can share passion for art, culture, teaching reading tons of fascinating books of all sorts and origing.

Always happy to visit interesting lectures, conferences, festivals, TED, TAM, skeptics in the pub,Toastmasters, speakers clubs, museums, flea market, local grocery store, cinema and everything else that is somehow interesting and fun. Please guide me if you can :). Any good advice and tips from locals appreciated.

Spending lot of time in nature when the weather is nice and I REALLY mean it so if you are not a camping type of person and dont want to get soaked by rain too often, or simply do not care for such outdoor experience please let me know that in advance and we can do other crazy things or just chill out in town.

I am in a small wheelchair and prefer accessible places
as I cannot do much walking or climbing,

Usually travel alone and you are free to make your own plans along the way as well, but if we decide to go somewhere together I might ask you for assistance.

I am curious, crazy, and kind...well not all the time, but better meet me first and you will be the judge of that.

PHILOSOPHY

It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can make you smile and show you around if you like.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very good experience >|

Interests

Talking, reading, smiling, laughing debating, teaching, creating crazy things and useful ideas, well sometimes it is the other way around :)

I do all my own chores and I love to cook. Why not to prepare some nice meals together and share recipes? Lets do it :). I have been told I'm a great cook. Nobody poisoned so far. You might be first. Take your chances :).

Music, Movies, and Books

I am constantly reading anything I can get my hands and eyes on including railroads maps, house safety rules in the case of fire and price tags of course.

Some favorites> Blank Slate by Steven Pinker also Wisdom of the Sands by Exupery and lot of dark poetry that has very questionable value and quite strange composition, but if I enjoy it so much it must be worth something after all :).
Some movies I quite liked to watch
Shawshank Redemption
Casablanca
House of Flying Daggers
Painted Veil...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to pick just one thing. Life has been very good to me and I am not sure what could be the most amazing experience so far. I have been born, got a great family and lot of nice crazy friends. You can become one of them if you qualify :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Doing even more useful and exciting exciting things to make people around more curious about whatever is passing by at the moment even if it is just that big spider on the wall right next to you....
Sometimes just waiting to see people smile and happy to share a good moment with them.
