I want to hear your story and share mine and make some new memories together!

I'm a freelancer engineer in IT, a lindy hop dancer and an environmentalist. Also I'm curiuos about space & astronomy and sing a bit. I work remotely by day from cafes and co-workings & going out to see the city, its activities and local experiences by evenings & nights.

I'm currently travelling with a mission to figure out where I want to live in the future . I'd love to hear about your experiences and get some advice on that.

I welcome co-living culture and practices - sharing, caring & having fun together. I'm laid back, outgoing and optimistic. I hate doing nothing and getting up late - life is too short to waste time. I'm sociable but not a party animal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted several AIESEC interns. I loved the experience & learned a lot through cultural exchange hence I'm here trying to continue it.
I'm not a sightseeing kind of traveler. I try to spend more time in the area to get to feel it, make acquaintances &friends to have as local kind of a lifestyle as possible.

Interests

I like listening and learning new things and points of views of people, their attitude towards life and everything.

I'm quite a talker as well with a nice sense of humor. Can tell you everything about electric vehicles, Tesla, renewable energy, global warming and new technology in IT.

I dance swing type of dances: lindy hop & charleston and will for sure find local parties and classes to attend. :-)
