Hi there stranger! My name is Ivo, I'm 25, living and working in China!

I'm trying to change my life a little bit, meet more people, eat healthier, exercise more, travel more and have more unforgettable moments in my life. Couchsurfing seems like an ideal place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before...

Yeah, I'm a Star Trek guy.

Interests

I'm a geek and a goof, I like movies, TV series, comic books, board games.

I love to travel, see new places, soak in cultures and history. Taking long long looooong walks through a city, just going without any map or guide till I find something interesting. Hiking and also cycling. Loving exploring the city on my ebike.

I also like a good party, beers, pub crawling and live music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes, yes, yes.

I can listen to almost everything. The more underground and weird the better. Big fun of postpunk scene, alternative and indie rock.

And David Bowie. Love the guy.

Fantasy and SF when it comes to books, but lately I'm doing a lot of reading of IMAGE comics catalog. Just read Saga please its the best you will thank me.

I love movies, especially foreign movies. There is something about watching subtitled movies and listening to all of these languages, you know? Big fun of Korean, Chinese and Spanish movies. I think it tells a lot about a person what their favorite movies are so: 1. American Beauty 2. Usual Suspects 3. Clerks 4. LA Confidential. Yeah, 3 out of them star Kevin Spacey.

Big fan of tv series. I watch a lot, I've seen a lot. Lately my favs are The Leftovers, Rectify and The Americans.

I probably watch way way waaaay too much so I'm trying to limit myself atm.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming to China was the best decision in my life. I absolutely love my job and all of my kids. Even when the classes are not going so well, when the kids are naughty and don't listen, even then I'm happy because I do what I love.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Polish! :) Everyone loves Polish. It's so weird and difficult.

I'd love to learn more about your culture, language and history. About you, your experiences and your traveling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of laughs and goofs. If you want I can take you around the city. Show some sites. Have a dinner, drink. We can play some board games, smoke some hookah.

There are two couches available. For bigger groups I could offer my bed. Some freshly grounded coffee is always available. Fridge full of beer, hot shower.
