About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my life

ABOUT ME

I am an adventurous individual who enjoys being outdoors and spending time being active. I am a risk taker and have no problem striking up a conversation with a total stranger. When I travel I love to get to know the locals, and their customs, and I am always up for a challenge. I love a hard hike, but also love the water and I am happy to spend a day on the beach. I thrive in a society with diversity and appreciate a simpler way of living. I am keen of learning about cultures and customs that are different than my own, and enjoy a deep conversation, whether it be philosophical or spiritual. I am not a city dweller by any means, and definitely believe that life is something to explore and experience firsthand.

PHILOSOPHY

Open up your mind and just live for today, appreciate what you have in your life and what you can take from it, finding joy and gratitude in everything you do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first time meeting CS people was in 2012. I went to Barcelona's seaside CS meeting, continued by partying and sightseeing with guys from the meeting.

In 2013 I surfed Glenn's couch in Milan, Ricardo's place in Rome and Pasquale's home in Napoli. All of them - really wonderful experiences!

Then surfing in Seoul and fabulous Jeju island.

And surfing in the Philipines, Palawan island. One of the best experiences all in all.

Last experience was in 2014 Suncheon city, South Korea. I've stayed in 3 different places and it was amazing!

All this time with amazing people left me only with completely positive feelings! I'm looking forward to other CS adventures!

Interests

Well, I have finished Music school. Musical abilities help me to express my creativity not only in musical field, but also in making various decisions, communicating with different people. Also I love travelling and staring to everything through the camera lens, socializing, listening to music, reading books, experimenting in the kitchen, dancing, skiing...
