About Me

I hate restrictions, limitations and barriers in all aspects of my life.
That's why I resigned from my full employment and started my own company in international trade area.
Same refers to traveling - two weeks of holidays is never enough.
That's why I'm currently on a South American one year trip with my girlfriend.
I also started running my blog with business issues that I find interesting while traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So far I've visited around 20 countries and in each of them I tried to stay at someone's place or at least meat with few couch surfers. It's always great time and lots of mixture of thoughts, ideas and emotions..

Interests

I'm surely more of a backpacker than all-inclusive traveler but sometimes it's necessary to book a guided trip or rent a car.

I like to be in the move whatever it is: hiking, cycling, snowboarding, kiting or running. More important is where and with whom I am doing it.

Business is my way of earning but also one of major interests. I'm curious about people's decisions, their ideas and customs in different countries. More on my blog www.aroundthebusiness.com
