When I travel I am quite autonomous - I usually have some plan of what I want to visit and I definitely do not expect my hosts to bring me to the touristic places of their city. However, if the host has time, I am glad to spend some time together (have a dinner, a walk to the only-locals-know areas etc.) If it turns out you won't have time to hang out, I will definitely be fine on my own as well.

I have a passion for craft beer, it has been one of my main interests since ~2015. I am also a homebrewer, though I do it quite rarely due to my laziness and it being a bit tricky within an apartment.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

It is always interesting to meet some locals and see how they live and learn their approach for life. So far I have done only the surfing part. I have surfed in several countries during my solo trips, also together with friends during our Balkan trip (in Turkey, Macedonia, Serbia and Greece).

兴趣

I don't go to clubs and I dislike crowded mass events - I prefer nice pubs with good beer, cosy cafes, small concerts. I love going into nature - have a walk in a forest or at the sea, camping. Every now and then I do some geocaching.
