For surfers: You can skip reading this page and go just to the house description. Only thing that could be important is that I am a vegetarian.

I am a student at TU Dresden with the great opportunity to host people in my cozy room in a hostel.

I like my occupation, wich is civil engineering. I like to design buildings’ structures and make the required calculations. I like to communicate with other engineers and architects while working on a project. And I like freedom in my work.

I do not consider myself an eternal wanderer. I tend to keep a balance between my routine and my adventures. There is a possibility that in the future I will make an around-the-world journey; it is not such a pipe dream for me. Traveling allows me to explore new borders of reality and helps me to become better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is an ancient greek saying that if you have not been changed after a journey, your journey had not a sense.

Without people towns are empty. People make a soul of a place. I am looking for that soul.

Only people can influence you so much that you finish the journey becoming different than you started, hopefully better, lighter, full of love.

If to talk about been a host, it was my dream since I started to use a couchserfing. Now I live in center of Dresden and can share my room with travelers. As the saying goes „to pay back”, and possibly “to pay forward “
