About Me

After some years living abroad, Poland and France, I find myself returning to my country missing the intercultural exchange that those experiences provided me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

All that time i met so many people doing couchsurfing and telling me such great experiences about it made me aware that now that i have a place of my own at my own country i think it's time i give it a try,

Interests

I consider myself some kind of "renaissance man", not in the way that i'm skilled at many subjects, just because I feel compelled to find even the simpler things interesting and intriguing. I can spend hours discussing history, culture, religion or art, with the same spirit as i speak about food, sports or music. Most of all, i'm interested in confronting myself with as many different opinions as possible.

  • arts
  • culture
  • dining
  • billiards
  • music
  • guitar
  • sports
  • swimming
  • history
  • religion

Music, Movies, and Books

I can spend an afternoon listening to 60's blues or jazz to relax and after some good conversation and dinner may sing every Pop song at karaoke and after that, raising hell at the club.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Difficult question... I'll just tell the story that makes me feel the proudest: When I was 14 years old I saved a friend from drowning at a swimming pool, next summer I taught him to swim just to never worry again for his future safety.

Teach, Learn, Share

I give the most amazing shitty guitar lessons in the whole world, at least that's how I see it when I try to teach my nephew.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nachos, Pizza, WI-FI and the same roof.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
