About Me

I'm open and friendly person, unfortunately often quite busy with work. Married since April 2016! I've studied sociology, got my masters done in 2010. Now I work help to run my family business and work a bit in sport/life style/travel journalism. Besides that, I teach people to ski in the winter and to dive during the summer. I quite hate staying in one place too long, and so I try not to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
