Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I can host couchserfers sometimes, and I hope to find new contacts in different countries when I travel.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I hosted some people and I stayed with a wonderful host Emma in London and Josef in Prague.
Interests
I am interested in couching, pedagogy , sustainability, the circular economy, and outdoor sports. I like learning from other people all around the world. My hobbies are all related to outdoors - I do kayaking, alpine and cross-country skiing, backpacking and hiking, and cycling. I also run a non-commercial geographical cooking club, we organise master-classes to help people learn about different cultures through cooking and eating. So, anybody who can play a role of a Master and teach us your national cuisine is welcome!
I have no pets and don't drink alcohol, so if you read my profile, you will not get confused by the picture
