About Me

Instagram: @dpoldrugo
Please don't contact me to get a place to sleep. I'm into genuine human communication, not into the hostel business :)

Travelling should be a human right. An investment into the future of humanity. It should not be a billion dollar industry called tourism. Hosting in Couchsurfing can also be considered an act of rebellion against tourism.

Everyone's mouth these days is full of environmental protection.. what if we look at the environmental impact of tourism.. can it be safe to say that by hosting / using couchsurfing we would use more existing resources (hosting someone in an an existing apartment) and build less tourism dedicated resources, we are actually reducing the environmental impact, thus helping the planet?

Are you a traveller or a tourist?

I consider myself a citizen of the world. IT guy, but not stereotypical. I like art, cinema in the first place but also theater and books.

Just take a look at my photo comments, my films, my music, my books and finally.. my references.. You'll get the picture! ;)

When you contact me to get hosted use this word in your message/request: blurb
And of course, don't forget to blurb about yourself! :) I will not reply if not!

I prefer to host travellers, not tourists.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe CS is the true way of travelling for people who are more into people and culture, opposed to hotels and buildings. I like history, but I like more info from people who are ”in the here and now"!

Interests

Sports: sailing, windsurfing, volleyball, squash. Like to travel with motorcycle and travel in general. Writing a script for a short movie that I plan to make.
