I'm a filmmaker, but I also have a job working for a software company. I love meeting new people. I like to visit a lot of places quickly and then go back to stay longer at places that left an impression. Some of my favorite cities: Reykjavik, Krakow, Hoi An, Paris, Istanbul, Amman and Berlin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it’s a much better way to get to know the people who live somewhere, and thus a better way to visit a place.
