I've been on a full-time journey around the world since 2016 when I sold off and gave away most of my possessions. This transformative journey led me to awaken to the beauty and kindness that is present in every human soul, regardless of race, status or education. It also allowed me to have a glimpse into the true nature of myself, a glimpse that continues to inspire me to not just cultivate but also share and extend my mindfulness, empathy, love, gratitude and equanimity towards everything that life has to offer.

I go by three main principles in life:
1. Leave a place better than it was when you found it.
2. Live and let live.
3. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I'll be happy to tell you about the rest when we meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of Couchsurfing is the idea of sharing, kindness and gratitude. I strive to embody those values in my everyday life. I like to connect with interesting people, listen to their stories, share their experiences and learn from their skills. I'm inspired by humanity in general. I grow with every person I meet, and I go to great lengths to preserve the value of these encounters and share them further.

Interests

I'm anUX designer with almost 20 years of professional experience in the advertising/marketing and online industry. I've worked on creative projects for many international brands both as an art director, copywriter as well as a designer. In 2011 I've founded my own design and software development agency which grew up to be very successful in a very short period of time. However, as I began developing a stronger interest in photography, travel and meditation, I stepped back from my core business and started to generate income through investment activities.
