You will find me temperamental and enthusiastic but kind of quiet, you will like to spend the time with me if you are curious about life, people, cultures. I am open for a chat with others one the plane or a train, appreciate nature, classical architecture paintings sculptures, good design, yummy food and healthy lifestyle. I enjoy practicing photography (documentary: https://www.instagram.com/oobserver_official/ and more arty one: http://www.facebook.com/TravelPortraitPhotography ), reading books, long walks, jogging, swimming, having meaningful conversations. I don't really drink much alcohol, only occasionally (maybe some red wine), I enjoy having a cup of Taiwanese, Japanese or Chinese tea. I am actually big fan of it. I do wake up really early, pray, meditate, keep fit, healthy and minimal. For the last 12 years I've been living abroad, currently I am doing my masters in business management. Whenever possible I like to share my travel experiences with school students.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I was a child I was always curious about the world, people, landscapes, exchanging knowledge and spending time with others. CouchSurfing created for me a perfect opportunity to full-fill those needs. I am on Couch Surfing since 2008, I think it is an great idea that gathers like minded people from all over the world to share and cultivate friendship, interests and mix the cultural differences. Always with a good vibe, fun. It allowed me to to meet amazing. warm, hospitable, carrying people.
