About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wanna know people from other countries and other cultures.

ABOUT ME

I like my work. But I like travelling around the world just when I have time for that. When I'm at home I like to chat with friends in bars, play tennis, go to theatre, make some trekking...

PHILOSOPHY

I'm curious about world and people living here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people while being at home. And while travelling it's a pleasure to meet locals through cs. Specially it's useful to find locals from here if you don't understand the language of the country you are travelling. Without couch surfing I would have never found english speaking people in the rural areas at Saha republic in Siberia...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing at autumn 2008 when I was travelling to Central Asia. I have been hosted in Russia, Kazaksthan, Lithuania, Burundi. I have hosted people from Poland, Hungary, Germany, France...

Interests

I love sports and culture in many ways. I like to play tennis and go sometimes to go running. Or walking in the mountains. While travelling it's interesting to learn knowing local culture, things that are important for people there. And I'm a football fan! Going to football games in different national leagues is always fun.
