I'm a self-employed copywriter with a passion to meet interesting people and discover the world. Also, I really like to try challenging hobbies. For example, I studied archaeology in Italy and I used to work at excavation for three seasons digging into an ancient Greek settlement.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was travelling for several years in my own country, and now I can't wait to see some other places, and different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mainly metal, rock, and blues. Maybe some indie as well! :-)

I can't make a list of movies and books I like - there are too many of them! My favourite writers are Oscar Wilde, John Fowles, Pascal Quignard, Umberto Eco, Stephen Fry, Charles Bukowski, and Pietro Aretino.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completed a race in a rowing boat almost full of water.

Teach, Learn, Share

Go is my favourite board game, so it would be awesome if we could play it! However, my rank is not so high - 5 kyu.

I can teach you fencing for example! :-) Or anything mentioned in "My interests" section.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can do some minor repair, cook, keep everything clean, go over to a store, etc.
