About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stay in happy hippy state

ABOUT ME

My motto is "It's better to do and to regret it, than not to do it and to regret it" - so: no regrets! ;-)))
I would like to see maximum countries and cities in my life (because we only have one life, don't we?), and I apply all efforts to do it.

The current state is sabbatical in travelling - so dreams come true!

I love exploring the world, new cultures and meet new people.

On the other hand, I want to bring something to the world, and work in Customer Management Department helped me in that ;-)
I would like to learn more and more about new cultures, and couchsurfing is one of the ways to do that.So, let's surf!

PHILOSOPHY

No regrets!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to be a good guest and a good host - get the best out of this opportunity

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'd say that I'm couchsurfer by nature - I just hadn't known the word before! I host my friends & I surf at their places since my childhood
So in the phrames of CS I hosted Engin from Turkey for a day, & surfed in Seville at magnificent Pablo, and also met CS members in Barcelona, Oleg and Lucas.
