ABOUT ME

Since Sep 14 2013 I quit my job to make myself free, travel the world and explore myself. Most of the time I spent in Asia and in summer time I hitchhiked in Europe.
I found my partner through Couchsurfing and now I have settled down together with him. So, generally I use the other profile https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/michaelandkaterina , unless when I travel on my own.

I am communicative and curious about the world and people populating it. I dislike borders and restrictions and would love to have one big united unlimited country for everyone!

I am interested in behavioral psychology. Close to this topic is my other interest - Mind, and I learn about it by means of meditation and buddhist philosophy, not excluding other spiritual practices.
I madly enjoy food and cooking! I love food and everything connected to it: kitchen utensils and gadgets, cafes&restaurants, cuisines of different cultures, spicies, even conversations...
I also like being able to speak foreign languages - to feel something different through it.

I love playing games.
I learned to be always optimistic and joyful!

PHILOSOPHY

Oh, what a wonderful topic for a smooth face-to-face conversation!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted only a little, but I have been a guest for so many times and I've met such nice people - some have even become like a family to me! I am willing to give back to the world of travelers now!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I stayed by a CS host for the first time, I was totally amazed by the opportunity this service provides. I believe there is no chance you meet a bad person through CS, only good and interesting people live&travel here!
