About Me

Note: I'd love to host all of you, but I just came back to my parent's home for a few months, and I am unable to do that :/ But once I start living on my own, sharing my couch to others will be the first thing to do!

---

Hey! I'm an 19 years old guy.
On May of 2023 I packed all my stuff into a 40L backpack and set off on a journey to discover the unknown!
I'm a radical minimalist and try to keep as little stuff as possible.

On a daily basis I work on my app wheretopark.app, which aims to solve the parking problem by using AI and CCTV cameras to determine the amount of available parking spaces in real time.

I moved out of my parents' house when I was 17, and that really showed me how great freedom is. Now I want to travel as much as I can and experience as many cultures as I can, I hope that'll give me an idea of where to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, being in new countries and having amazing adventures. I think couchsurfing is a great opportunity to make all travels easier and more interesting. I'd like to know the city from the local's point of view.
I want to enjoy every single day of my life, that means couchsurfing, sleeping on the street (that teaches me how to manage in every situation), camping and hitchhiking which might be totally spontaneous.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book of all time is definitely Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs.
I got a lot of inspiration from this guy's journey. Maybe except for the fruit diet :D

Recently it's more about psychology / sociology / philosophy books, and podcasts:
- Erich Fromm, Escape from Freedom.
- Jean-Louis Vullierme, Mirror of the West.
- The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Podcast, Mark Manson

and the classic: Psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking 3200km across the Middle East.
It was full of amazing people and great memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

In terms of practical skills, I am an avid cook and would be delighted to prepare a meal for my hosts, introducing them to the flavors of my home country. Additionally, if there are any household chores or tasks that need assistance, I am always willing to lend a hand and contribute to the household.

And I always have my camera with me, so if your LinkedIn profile picture is outdated - let me know :D
