Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Improving my skills at procrastination
ABOUT ME
Intellectually curious, avid reader, observant, occasionally arrogant, occasionally generous, driven more by heart than mind.
PHILOSOPHY
I have a bit of a problem with that because by nature I am a procrastinator;-) At the same time I would like to be able to achieve certain things in life. To put it simply: seek for pleasure and achievements and as long as you are not hurting other human beings - it should be fine.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
So far by providing a couch and sometimes a company to visitors to New York City. Believe me - there are more than I can handle. So far - so good, no regrets;-)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first CS experience as a guest of Anya and Misha in Moscow (Aug 2007) was fantastic! The New Year 2007 in Poland with hosts in Wroclaw was inspiring too.
Interests
Photography, film, music, culinary arts and current events are all within the range of my interests. Women too. After all these years I still fail sometimes to grasp their mysterious ways;-) Remember U2 song?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sunrise at Gunung Bromo peak in Eastern Java, diving near Manado, Sulawesi, walks on Charles Bridge in Prague, sunsets with friends on the banks of Hudson River - these are some of the experiences that make life complete.
Teach, Learn, Share
I taught ESL (English as a Second Language) as a volunteer to a group of older New York immigrants between March and June 2008. It was a satisfying experience, one that made me feel useful, purposeful.
