Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sooner or later when you travel a lot you will come over Couchsurfing. I've heard many interesting stories from my friends about their experience here so I decided to try it myself. Since me and my wife moved to the Netherlands and started travelling more across Europe in short weekend trips, it became natural to look for locals anywhere we go. Isn't it the best place to do it? :)

Ask my wife. She reads sometimes. Once a day. Most time of the day actually.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped from 10-meters height into the mountains river. I was 14.

Teach, Learn, Share

What "Russian salad" really means and how tasty it can be ;)
How to prepare cappuccino with a home-grade espresso machine.
How to buy direct flights to India for 200EURs and other travel lifehacks.

As you may have already noticed I'm getting more and more unserious.
It's because when you spent a couple of hours remembering all stuff about yourself it becomes a bit boring...
Also it is already sleep o'clock... tomorrow we have another trip, so see you there! Maybe... if you want :)
