About Me

Currently we have a newborn, so only accepting super urgent and appealing guests who must be non-vaccinated from cov (to not exhaust spike proteins). All others please find other hosts and am really sorry for any inconvenience.

CURRENT MISSION

Life has limited me with time, so I try to do as much good as possible.
Currently I am rising 3 startups (international business assistance; indestructible cables for phones; and a next generation planner), while building a wonderful family and trying to find time for sports.

ABOUT ME

Ever since I've been born I felt like taking an important role in what is happening here on Earth.

By 14 I've realized that I'd like to change the world.
By 16 I've got the idea that it will not be as easy and done by words, I've made lots of social activities since then - organized trips and meetings of friends and had plenty of fun.
By 18 I've fell in Love for the first time and since then I know that humanity is even more worthy to live better, even though those relations lasted only 2 years.
By 20 I've tried several businesses and already understood that people don't do as You intend them to, even if You intend them to be happy, so I've started to look for a better model of influence.
By 22 I've connected to serious businesses, which gave me an option to travel, so I lived in London, Milan and enjoyed a lot of action, but then I was betrayed by business partners and came home to start all over.
By 27 I realised that it takes much more to achieve results than it seems from outside. A LOT more. It needs many dedicated people to unite for a single great goal and work with brains and hearts completely engaged.

It was very clear to me that to do something good as a person - one have to represent the result by himself. If you want to live in a better society - BE that better society.

PHILOSOPHY

I know that there are:
1. God (name him anyhow), who is willing us to be doing something we've came here, and helps to regulate our Path,
2. Karma, which sums everything we've got to learn and pinpoints it to us,
3. Reasons and consequences for everything, which in the end can all be summed to "You have wanted it and You have got it" .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've ran a complete 42KM marathon, swam over a huge lake (and almost drown), jumped off a cliff, got to work with three-letter-name-intelligence, and I'm driving bike around the city instead of car or public transport.

Teach, Learn, Share

Often people don't understand what happiness and love are. People miss the idea of them, as well as they miss the idea of money.

Money is never the end goal. For those, who consider money as an end goal - I feel truly sorry, since they will learn their mistake after decades spent for nothing.

Feeling happiness and being filled with love is not the end goal or aim to achieve either. They are signals that You have to listen to all the time. If you're happy - you've got everything right and moving in the right direction. If you're feeling upset and down, then you have to fix something immediately in what you are doing, how you are doing it or who surrounds you. Don't wait for Life to give you a punch in the face to show that you're on the wrong direction - change NOW.

What I Can Share with Hosts

One of my core life principles is "if you can't solve the problem with all the resources available, than you are the problem", and I help people to widen their horizons and be better. I love when it works.
