About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Talk less, do more.

ABOUT ME

I am a calm and easy going person. Some people ask me do I have any worries in my life. And then I realize that I know little about myself. Probably I just tend to simplify things.

Currently I am studying Graphic Arts and Printing technologies and discovering this field. Art is strongly related to my life, thoughts and actions. Printmaking, drawing and yoga are my everyday activities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I did not surf a lot yet, but I feel that the time has come to travel more and further.

Interests

I am practicing yoga and especially interested in art as it is a field I am exploring and learning about each day. All the time there is a big sheet of paper hanging on the wall in my room where I write / draw things each day as it is my way of thinking, an analysis.

music, literature, cinema, theater, travelling, illustration, typography, design, visual communication etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Simply - a feeling that you have everything what you actually need. While travelling when carrying a backpack on your shoulders and realizing that a very little is enough. Also, a feeling of learning, that each day brings new perceptions and understandings how probably things work.
