About Me

CURRENT MISSION

keep on traveling. exploring cultures, meeting people, and filming stories about their lives.

ABOUT ME

Graduated Master degree in Power engineering, quit my job, made a journey around the world in 15 months, visited 55+ countries.
Working in a Travel TV show “Heads and Tails” as a line producer - organizing everything for to make filming happen :)
I used to work for another travel series in Asia - as a producer, host, and managing trip for a filming group.

Super interested in people’s life in different places around the world.
I'm getting inspiration by people on my way, and want to share this. I like to learn world cultures, languages, to live as a native in each country - eating local cuisine in a local places, and hanging out in the way that is common for citizens.
My life is changing every day. And i'm so happy about that.

PHILOSOPHY

To be honest and sincere.
When in doubt, just ask:
- why not?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Best chance to meet people, discover country from the INSIDE, share everything and explore places around with them!

I'm often away and busy here, but I can help with advices or find someone who could help you.
So anyway, feel free to ask me anything you need!

Interests

I am interested in people's lives, what they think, the way they live, it is giving me chance to see the World as it is.
The other thing is creating, even if it is a crazy idea, why not? we never know, would it work or no, if we will never try.
