ABOUT ME

I love studying languages, meeting interesting people, getting to know different cultures and travelling all around the world.

Travelling is one of the best ways how to get know not only the world but especially yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing of life and travel experiences. Doing cool things together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did couchsurfing a few times with my friends and we enjoyed it a lot! A great way of travelling. The best way to meet local people and how to get off the beaten track which I always enjoy the most.

Interests

traveling, sailing, studying languages, designing gemstones jewellery, books, snowboard, swimming, movies, art and I really love good chocolate, tea and wine.

I have a special hobby which is collecting and using beautiful perfumes. I am especially passionate about niche perfumery.

My new hobby and also kind of job to survive till at least the end of my PhD is jewelry making. I mostly work with natural stones which are a very lovely and durable material. I'm doing minimalistic jewelry that gives the full light to the stone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Certainly the 88 Temples buddhist pilgrimage on Shikoku Island in Japan!

I also climbed most of the 4 sacred Buddhist and 5 Taoist mountains in China. Just a few to go!

Living on a pirate boat and sailing though the Caribbean...Martinique to Puerto Rico, one of the most beautiful times ever!

Probably the best thing I've ever done is the decision to move to the Virgin Islands.

Teach, Learn, Share

It's always very nice to share life & travel experiences, learn about the local culture, share the cultures I absorbed in the last years.
