ABOUT ME

Please note: at the moment I can only host one person at a time. It says so on this profile, but I still get a lot of requests of people travelling together. I will not reply if there's more than one person.

Hello there stranger. Well, what is there to say about me? I work for a publisher called EPO. I spend most of my days reading and writing. Activism also plays an important role in my life. In my free time I like to have a drink or some nice (vegetarian) food with friends or visit something cultural (movies, plays, exhibitions).

Surfed in many places from Scandinavia to the Balkans.
