Keep it simple.

As I am born in a poor country where the education system is a broken system I have decided to move and study abroad. I left home when I was 19 and live alone ever since. The town I now live in is a student town, and I try to combine the "local" with the "international" way of living. It is a beautiful but rather extraordinary way of living, as they seem to belong to two different worlds. But it made me adapt easily to any surronding and taught me to communicate with any person.

Lover of the outdoors, especially mountains.
Running is not just a passion, it's a challenge, a way to feel free.

Learn to listen to the children. They have many things to say. And then you shall learn.

It is no big deal if books get ripped or stained. So don't be afraid and take one in your hands.

Always try to find the best in the person you meet. That way you will never regret meeting them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like people. Or at least I really try hard to like people.

I grew up surronded by family and friends and I consider myself a lucky person for that one. I believe by exchanging experiences and sharing ideas, one can learn a lot about the world and life. And hotels certainly do not offer that.

It is the moment when we step out of our "safe zone" in order to broaden it, that we are truly open to new ideas and horizons. And we step out of our safe zone every time we meet a new person, when we hear the stories that they have to tell, we tell ours and we form a mutual safe zone.

And after all, that is why we travel. To discover ourselves by discovering the world. And you will fully discover the world if you meet the people that live on it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well I believe I have some great stories to tell. And I believe they are worth hearing.

It turns out I am good at languages, I can speak several so I could help my host pick up some words and give them some tips regarding the learning process.

I have done sports all my life: gymnastics, tennis, volleyball, swimming and at this moment athletics. I'd be more than happy to share my knowledge on healthy life, sport and injuries with my hosts.
