CURRENT MISSION

Making dreams come true!

ABOUT ME

I'm a frequent (but lonely) traveller. Mostly, I travel alone so that I can meet more people from the region I am going to and learn most about it. I love hitchhiking. I've done it in all Europe. I'm during my round-the-world journey. I don't know how long it's going to last. I'm not in a hurry and the further I go, the more I realize how little I know. I take my time - because travelling is not only taking photos of sights but, mostly, getting social experience by becoming an active participant in a new surrounding. Even though, I am a teacher by occupation and by call (I've had many jobs since I was 15 - one of which was really well paid but boring and can't imagine enjoying something else than teaching) I think, travelling is much better than travelling is much better than formal education when it comes to learning.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect others and you will be respected, Carpe Diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer a couch (or a room in my house) for free to max. 2 people - gender doesn't matter. Please bear in mind that alcohol or drugs are not accepted in my house.
Also, I am travelling at the moment but my parents will be happy to offer you a place to sleep (my room will be free yuppeeee!).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had many hosts - from couchsurfing or who have just taken me from the street in some desolated places when I was hitchhiking.

I also hosted some people but not on CS.

I'm not a big fan of hotels. I am a sociable guy who needs positive, or any kind, of energy from others. I do have my moments when I want to be completely alone, but most of the time, I need someone around me. Also, I love sharing my stories and listening to stories of others, especially elders. My grandfather who didn't travel a lot left his diaries (3 books). They're the only books I've read more than once (I normally don't like seeing the same plot again).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

getting a sailplane licence even though I'm afraid of heights.

Jumping on a hood of a passing-by taxi while running away from lads in Cassablanca (in a nutshell, saved by sixth sense) - Having only one night in Cassa on my short trip to Morocco, I got a stupid idea of doing my sightseeing in the middle of the night.

But.... with a proper attitude, every day can be amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English if you need.
However, if you and I are free, we can share a hitchhiking experience. I also don't want to disturb you or be a burden to you so I'll help you with as many things as possible.
