About Me

My life is for the most part focused around Buddhism and Buddhist meditation in particular. I prepare a PhD thesis about this topic, I travel mostly to the places connected with Buddhism in this way or another, and I meditate on a regular basis. Besides, I'm a vegetarian, amateur photographer, and even more amateur hiker.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
