I want to think to myself as a very kind, rather cheerful and very impulsive person. I am a passionate person, ready at any moment to get involved in some kind of moderate adventure.

I am a professional sommelier, I can talk about wine and food forever. And drink and eat, too, of course.

In the past, I was professionally involved in sports tourism and snowboarding, therefore, now I sometimes do these activities.

I love to work well, study and travel in a simple way.

Everyday trying to be more openminded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the reasons is the great experience of hitchhiking, during which I discovered many interesting people whom I would never meet when traveling by conventional transport. With accomodation the same situation! The second reason is simply economic - it’s better to drink a good bottle of wine and a tasty meal with new friends together than to spend this money on accomodation.
