I was born in one of the world's biggest countries and was raised in one of the tiniest. My first flight was when I was three months old, 'officially' lived in ten countries, studied in only six. I have three passports, but only use two of them (one is a backup) , though I could theoretically have five passports.

I have been travelling full time for the past 4 years and everything I have is in my small suitcase and backpack. Because of my need for light travelling I don't have any space to collect physical things but I have a huge mental storage of wonderful memories.

Recently I found out I am an ENTP personality type https://www.16personalities.com/entp-personality - not sure if that's a good thing or not :)

I usually spend a month (or more) in every city (or country, depending on the size) I visit as that's about the time it takes me to get a satisfactory appreciation of a place and its people.

I also eat a lot, it's impossible for me to gain weight as I have tried many times! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's kind of a long story, but basically a chance meeting with a girl I met after midnight in Chefchaouen, Morocco led me here.

I also love the adventure of discovering new places, meeting new people and creating new friendships.

Interests

This is mostly travelling and food as I like to 'taste' every place I visit :)

Slavic languages are my favourite.

I've read many books mostly notably by Woolf, Nobakov, Pushkin, Tolstoy, Proust, Dostoevsky, Gogol and Bulgakov. However my two favourites are Infinite Jest and Gravity's Rainbow'

All music is good, it depends on my mood.
