About Me

I can't give a clear answer when asked where I am from - I consider many places as homes. As far as my future is concerned, besides a plan B, I've also plan C-Z. There's so much of interesting things to do in this world!

I am curious on how people live and find their ways. Though, I like to think of my home as a safe place. So, I can cope with lots of different attitudes outside in the world, but I prefer to keep my home free of what I consider to be hateful attitudes: racism, homophobia, sexism, antisemitism and so on (and this is non-negotiatable).

I'm interested in culture, because I like things that people make (from music and art to growing vegetables and handcraft) - all kinds of things fascinate me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wish, the whole world would be a bit more like Couchsurfing. People open their homes and their hearts for each other, willing to help, eager to meet.
I've made some of my most memorable experiences only because of Couchsurfing. Couchsurfers gave me a home over the polar circle as well as in the heart of Tel Aviv, in deepest Eastern Turkey same as Southern Ukraine.
While couchsurfing, I met people who became some of my best friends.

Couchsurfing is an unbelievable and important experience of sharing.

Of agape :)

Interests

Sea and mountains. Good food. Books and Movies. Art, especially in public space. Sometimes beer and sometimes wine (and sometimes good, tasty cold water). Chilling and moving. Sometimes philosophy and sometimes whatever. Cool and interesting people whom I can share all these things with.

Teach, Learn, Share

If it's possible for me, I'll love to show you my favorite spots of Leipzig, the city I fell in love with hopelessly. I'll share everything I have with you, if you need something - whether it's stuff or good stories or company -)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories, fun and laughter, good company. I can take care of myself and can do my share of the house work. I'd love to join you in your life, but always find something else to do if you're busy!
