About Me

Hi.
I am almost 30 and I work at school for children with disabilities. I also work as a private tutor. With my colleagues from different NGO's we, as volunteers, organize some charity and fundraising events mainly in a benefit for families with children that need help.

As a guest I am always glad to be attentive, helpful. I'm calm and not annoying person. And while staying in a new place I don't need luxury - more important are a cosy atmosphere and trust relations with the host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

for more experience and travelling with pleasure and impressions

Interests

I like to read books (mostly - paper books), to watch movies, to learn foreign languages (to use them during my travellings abroad), to cycle (love my old dutch bike)), to play tennis, to make gifts for my family and friends, to draw (''in case of" inspiration), to make useful things from the old ones or from almost garbage and of course I (as all the people here, I guess) like to travel and meet interesting persons.
Travelling alone is not a problem for me, but it's better to share impressions and travel with friends.
