About Me

I lived in travels for the last 9 years, mostly exploring Asia. 2 years out of those I spent running my own hostel on Koh Phangan, Thailand. That was a powerful experience!
After the last summers with lockdowns in India, I've decided to travel Europe again.
I'm also a professional fire performer, and that's the other thing I do for living. Performing on the streets or on big stages, traveling between the cities or festivals - that's my another new life. My last 3 years I spent in Goa, India, performing with fire and LED at various events, weddings, festivals etc.
I love to spend time with friends, it's much more fun to share all the experiences together. But as a solo performer I don't have friends with me all the time. That's where I decide to try Couchsurfing!

P.S. you can see that I'm quite long on CS, but used it only when was traveling with my friend and never alone.
The reason is that I think I'm quite shy to meet unknown people, and in the beginning I may forget all the words and how to start a conversation :D That's why I also can't write about me more :-P

But this time I would really like to meet new friends from everywhere! Locals and other travelers too.
So if you don't mind some pauses in conversation in the beginning, I can be really talkative later and tell you a lot of interesting things from my life in non-stop travels :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of Couchsurfing because country is in its people. I would love to meet local people, try local food, learn some of the local language, culture, try to understand the mentality, and have fun like locals!

Interests

I love all kind of arts, especially movement art! Any kind of dance style: contemporary, classical ballet, folk etc and I would love to learn more! Recently found new passion in Argentine tango. The same with the languages, now I'm focused the most on German learning. I love nature and small cosy streets in cities, mediaeval architecture, trying new food. Also I would like to know more about sustainable living and how to realise it in modern life and during traveling lifestyle.
