About Me

CURRENT MISSIONS - Gaining lifetime experience instead of temporary success - Creating the most authentic version of myself

ABOUT ME Inquisitive, curious, honest and adventurous person. Even if I may seem a bit shy and quiet at first, originally I'm very opened, and I like meeting new people, learning more about their life. It's really interesting to share some lessons that life gave to you and what made you stronger and wiser.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing positive experience, being a kind person to whoever you meet on your way makes the World much better place to stay, and I think Couchserfing is a possibility to be a part of this positive changes.

And, it's always better to discover new cultures with locals rather than with tour guides :)

Interests

My work is my biggest interest for now, but I like to distract myself by looking for some outdoor adventures with my friends, or by reading or watching movies on more peaceful days. I also enjoy hand-made, drawing and sculping, and I still persue the idea of dedicating my life to art.. Someday 😅
Also I like to play musical instruments. I'm not very good at it, but it makes me feel much better 😄 Especially ethnic music instruments, like jew's harp and goblet drum. I've tried to play didgeridoo as well, but circular breathing is one more thing in my to-learn list :)
