About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Just live day by day and wait to next chance to see the world or meet new people

ABOUT ME

Boring stuff first, I am Engineer working on product development, it's not really that boring to be honest. Everyday there is new challenges and you can see things moving forward and company evolve so I am quite enjoying it for now. On free time I try to do some sports when I am not too lazy for it, Badminton I have played quite frequently and past year tried to learn to play tennis too little better. I like travelling to places where I can hang out with my friends (old or new).

PHILOSOPHY

Don't lie, it makes your word worthless... Don't make promises you ain't gonna keep...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did some surfing in South CA, USA and met some great people on the way. I also hosted couple travellers at my old place. Then while travelling in Hong Kong I met some amazing people, locals and other travellers through couchsurfing which really made my vacation there so much better than it would have been without CS =)
Since those early days have had met dozens of cool people more and hopefully continue to do so.

Interests

When I travel I might take long walks through the area I am visiting, sometimes get exhausted but walking is mostly the way to see the most. Mildly competitive sports are very nice to do, pushing yourself and your opponent to limit is quite rewarding. Durign autumn hunting season reserves quite a few weekends and best of that is moving in the nature and interacting with wildlife. Of course it's great to every now and then be able to bring some tasty game back home and have dinner that is not possible to get from most restaurants.
