About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I would say hedonism. I haven't found my passion or "mission" yet. U know, something comes to you when u don't expect it. That's why I just try to live my life, enjoy small things, travel, help others and make people around laugh.

ABOUT ME

I hate small talks. So if u love long balcony conversations about everything and nothing, we'll find a common language.

I love making jokes and I get really attracted to people who make me laugh. I guess my sense of humour is sort of special, that's why I value people who share it.

I'm terribly absent-minded. I don't know why I'm sharing this info here, but probably as my host/cs u have to be prepared

My signal words: czech beer, music, dogs, sex, Belarusians, classic literature

I love being in the nature and enjoying its phenomena. So I can eternally stay on the coast and stare at sea, or sleep in a tent or sleeping bag and observe stars, or have never ending conversations by a bonfire, run away from the rain and get warm from sun rays. So u got it, I'm that romantic type.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to broaden my horizons and simply have a good time with people, to get/give some energy from/to them, to share my experience and to listen to the life stories of others.

Interests

Travelling. As many other people, I love exploring and getting to know people from all over the world. The best way to do it is travelling. I haven't visited many countries so far but those where I've already been proved that every country is unique in its own way and worth of seeing. For this reason I try to do long trips in order to dive into local culture and people's lifestyle. I don't chase for numbers of countries. It's impossible to cover all of them. I just want to enjoy the process of travelling itself and hope that my CSs in their turn are eager for getting to know me as well as for familiarizing with my culture.

I love to debate, discuss, argue and laugh at stupid things. So be prepared to have some beer while holding interesting, funny, maybe sometimes weird talks!

I cannot imagine my life without movement. I would be really glad if we could dance together. It doesn't matter what dance style u do, I love dancing culture itself.

In my free time I love reading. Here are some top writers for me: Dostoevsky, J. Fowles, A. Kronin, O. Henry.
