Overview
About Me
You are looking at a bicycle-enthusiast. Definitely not a racer, but more like tinkerer or a bicycle hedonist. Life will change always somehow, but one thing has been around me always, and that´s bicycles.
I´ve done lots of different jobs in my life and same goes to my free time hobbies/activities. Photography, old school game consoles, arcade games, arts, culture, eating well, sharing a beer or two with a good conversation... List is endless if I really even think about it.
My lifetime dream is to visit some day in Japan.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would like to meet new people and see places around the world. I trust that there´s lots of things that I wouldn´t ever get to see without local people. Not looking for Pyramids of Ghiza or Eiffel tower, but more like a side alley with beautiful wall paintings, or a view from beautiful hill. I wouldn´t mind if I catch few phrases of some new language on the way.
