About Me

I'm a social heathen who loves to travel mainly to meet people. Second reason why I travel is nature and landscapes. Third reason (but not last) is food, the arts, history and architecture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing not only can help save some money but more importantly provides endless opportunities to connect with wonderful open people.

  • craft beer

  • mountain hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz, experimental jazz, latin jazz, breakbeats, alternative rock, experimental contemporary genres and psychedelic rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I literally brought baseball to many small towns across Slovakia during my Peace Corps experience between 1998 - 2001 for a youth-at-risk recovery program that at the time led to over 30 teenage new baseball fans to give up their detrimental addiction for a healthy and disciplinary new addiction - baseball.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to sum up these three verbs (teach, learn, share) in one phrase: There is no such thing as a stupid question.
Even a question that seems senseless triggers the imagination by simply allowing it all to connect with the power of the mind. I love asking and being asked. It is the only way to open a conversation. And it is how we teach, learn and share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, all a host has to do is ask. I mean - I live in the nation's capital and is as international (if not more) than NY City, and I can just about find pretty much anything. So please - ask away if there is something hard to find where you are that I may get here, and I'd be happy to give it a try.
