Hi,

my name is martin, i'm a friendly guy from one of the biggest cities in central europe. i grew up in the city but always enjoyed the countryside, love to hike and explore nature.
Last summer i was in the eastern swiss alps and for this summer i planned a 3 weeks trekking tour through norway. Have also plans to visit the Dolomites in South Tyrol.
What makes travelling interesting to me is that you can leave the everday life behind you. No matter what you do, if you do it all the time it gets boring. Always nice to enrich my life by exploring something new. From travelling i expect good impressions, interresting talks, meeting new people, but also silence and reflection. Altough the idea of trevelling is to leave your home and face something unkown, for many people the physical absence of the usual world means a bigger bound to their "inner home". It seems paradox but by shifting yourself to a unkown place and maybe in a challenging situation you may get closer to your real personality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What i never really understood is that people go visiting countries to see famous buildings, walk through shopping streets, enjoy food, ... but dont try to get in contact with the resident people. People are also a part of the environment, their culture, mentality, language and also their opinion about my country or continent are always interesting for me.
It's fascinating how run-of-the-mill question like "where are you from", "what do you do for living" in new contexts can lead to interessting chats. For that reason i really like concept of couchsurfing.
