Hi all,

Starting with the basics - I'm Filip, a recent King's College London graduate working in product. 🚀

Not gonna lie; living in London can be crap at times, so I pack a backpack and fly away a few times a year. I've fallen in love with low-cost travelling, backpacking, and pretty much anything adventurous. Nevertheless, it's better in two (or more), so here I am. CORRECTION: London - screw you. I've spontaneously left and am travelling the world right now.

I can talk for hours about travelling, startups, and the general meaning of our lives. I've got some damn crazy stories to tell you about, mostly from the caving I used to do in my home country. And ancient astronaut theorists say I'm a pretty decent chef as well, so I'm not afraid to show you my cooking skills. 🧑‍🍳

Favourite countries: Spain or Norway (couldn't decide)
Now: Bali
Next to visit: Thailand
Currently learning: SQL data analytics (blah) and Spanish

Tripple-vaxxed, so we can call Bill Gates via my 5G microchip. 👽

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet some cool folks travelling around our blue marble in space. I'm down to share a meal together (or maybe hit the road together instead?), make friends and do my part to bring the world closer together :)

Interests

I am a very adventurous person who feels the best outside the comfort zone when seeking discomfort and making memories ✈️

Music, Movies, and Books

Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge:

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea. "

Also, I enjoy Dale Carnegie's works, and I'm in love with Kygo. 🌴

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I graduated from high school, I booked a flight to London for the following day. I packed a small backpack (pretty much just a sleeping back), and I arrived in London with no accommodation booked, no plans, no friends, and about £80 in savings.

Now, this is my 4th year living in the city (left it already anyway hah).

Was it tough? Yes. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. Would I do it again? Absolutely not. ✌️

1 - I can help practise your English, cook a meal or two, do laundry or buy groceries.
2 - We can cut the bullsh*t, go out, spontaneously rent a car and drive 560 km across the country with no plans.
