Every day I learn about myself, discovering my passions and confront my fears. From time to time, I need to set out on a journey to rediscover myself, to gain some distance, to draw inspiration from a new environment, as this is my fuel to keep going and keeps me from ever standing still.

PHILOSOPHY

Want to seize the day. Find positive aspects in every situation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling without engaging with locals is like missing out on the best part of the trip for me. It's the people who bring a place to life, who can provide insider tips and recommendations, and who can help with deeper understanding and appreciation for the local culture. With the people we create unforgettable memories from the travels and that's why I am on Couchsurfing.

Interests

I am a snowboard and ski instructor and I always spend the winter season on the slopes. In addition, I try my hand at various sports, from rock climbing to paragliding to scuba diving. I cannot live without constant movement, so if I am not attending specific sports classes, I simply put on my shoes and go for a run. Besides sports, I love all kinds of art and cultural events, which is why despite my immense love for nature, I have to stay in the city from time to time. I love traveling, of course, without which my life would probably make no sense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I crossed the Ukayali River and ventured deep into the Peruvian jungle during the rainy season. Despite the challenging conditions, I managed to survive unscathed and avoided becoming a feast for the swarms of mosquitoes. Against all odds, I emerged from the jungle unharmed, with newfound respect for the power and beauty of the natural world.
