About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Gold in the air of summer

ABOUT ME

I am glad that I'm alive. That I have this opportunity to travel and find out more about life, world and its people, and also help others who are doing this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great! I wouldn't have seen the things I've seen and done the things I've done without you my wonderful hosts!

Interests

I'm interested in everything that has this magical feeling of "being glad that you're alive". Living in the moment, beautiful places, summer, warm nights, good food, intelligent and loving people, singing (!), dancing, photography, watching good movies, reading books, descovering my abilities, simply enjoying life. Taking care of the ones I love. Receiving and giving.
But what I enjoy most is nature. It's everything good, peaceful and beautiful. Especially places with water - the see, the ocean or a lake. The woods. They lift me.

Music, Movies, and Books

The world is so full of good things it is hard to mention them all. But for the concept I can mention some of the recent favorites -

Books: Hermann Hesse, Tove Jansson, Khaled Hosseini;

Movies : Krzysztof Kies›lowski - all of his work, as well as Wes Anderson's, "Institute Benjamenta" by Brothers Quay, "Bab'Aziz" by Nacer Khemir, "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring" by Ki-duk Kim;

Music: Bonobo, Nils Frahm, Laura Marling, Arcade fire, Sigur Ros and others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Norwegian mountains! The solitary and breathtaking walks so close to sky leading to the peeks of those majestic giants with no sounds around you but the wind, our own footsteps and some occasional bells from the wondering goats. Nothing but rocks and moss everywhere you look. And then the fjords! Like on another planet.

Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden
