About Me

English. Former backpacker, now living in Uzhhorod. Love alternative music, good films, philosophy, books, cooking, walking and teaching.

Currently in Porto with my wife. Second time here.

Like to walk, grab a drink and/or food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet other people, whether locals where I travel or to host others.

Interests

I'm always interested on going for a walk, exploring places, understanding the history of places and then having a few drinks. I'm aways willing to learn new food to cook and attempt to learn bits of languages, even if i'm not the best at that. I'm an avid fan of philosophy, music and film and am also somewhat capable of playing bits of music too. If me and my wife host you, we'll respect you if you'll want to do your own thing but we'll take you around uzhhorod, teach you about the culture, show you good food and places for a few drinks 🙂
