Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had truly amazing time when I couch-surfed with a number of great hosts in Japan and other Asian countries. I always remember my experience with a big smile.

Interests

Books: I really enjoy reading. The feeling that I can take book and read them everywhere make me feel confident. Currently reading: Harari's "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind"

Movies: I am following latest news about film industry and I try to watch really good movie once a week.

Sports: running, yoga, bouldering, surfing, snowboarding - all fun and active endeavours leave me with positive emotions and make me feel truly alive

Art: I do enjoy snapping pictures on my phone, digital and film camera. Instagram became a very good photo diary platform for me.
I really love architecture and I hope to visit many impressive places around the world.
Contemporary art is my recent passion too! Japan is so great for art...

Cooking: I enjoy making something not only delicious, but also beautiful. I prefer Vegan diet, but I do not call myself Vegan/Vegetarian as I do make exceptions and eat animal products from time to time.

Writing: I like scribbling. I write a diary, especially when I travel.

Blogs: I really enjoy fashion, design and photography blogs.

More generally, I am interested in minimalist lifestyle, current political and sociological affairs, especially in Asia. Environmental sustainability is also something I am trying to learn a lot.
