About Me

Hi, my name is Ivan. I know I only live once. That is why I get to know the world, nature, art and myself. I spend my days actively, but on the other hand I like to stop, think about and dream. I am dedicated to poetry, writing blogs and photography. I am finding my happiness in nature, in the mountains, hiking, but also in the city with friends, on concerts or with a good book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the best way to know the current region or city is to meet and get to know people who lives there. It is a most primeval human habitute. Knowing each other, understand each other and share our lives for a moment. Traveling is one of the most enriches and beatiful experience. So I want to see and explore new places and get to know people, who lives there.
