CURRENT MISSION

travel! if you're prevented, travel with your mind!

ABOUT ME

i would describe myself as a sportsman ready for adventure, who doesn't live in his small squared mind but is open and looking abroad to what is happening in the big world.
i hate complicated persons, multis and lobbies, globalization, neoliberalism and neocolonialism, the imf and the wto with gats, tipp and mai, suits and ties, big cars and heavy watches and status symbols.
about my external appearance: height 1.83m, weight 73kg, brown-blonde hair, blue eyes, find out the rest :o)

PHILOSOPHY

travelling is the best way to break down prejudices and preconceptions!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

unfortunately i have too little time to travel around the world, learn other countries and people, and utilize couchsurfing a bit more, but i'm happy to host friends and new interesting people.
all this because i believe that every stranger is a friend i don't know yet :-)
