Overview
About Me
Well, I don't want brag, but in 2006 TIMES magazine have chosen me as a person of the year. Don't believe it? Just google it.
Jokes aside, you could split me in two halves. One half I could call "active". Highlining (type of slacklining) between the cliffs or building roof tops; rope jumping; rock climbing. I love it if it makes me tremble from fare. Other half could be called "sound". Listening to it for 4-6 hours every day. If the movie has a good soundtrack, then plot or visual aspects becomes not that important. John Williams, Hans Zimmerman are the gods in the field of movie soundtracks. If you connect "active" and "sound" then Salsa happens. I could dance all night.
Recently I've started reading a lot about emotional intelligence. I recommend to read "Emotional intelligence" by Daniel Goleman.
On professional side I am product manager in a Beauty industry. I could tell you a lot about skin care :D
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Every time I read a couchsurfer’s profile, I get excited. There are so many amazing people out there! People often say that traveling makes you more open-minded, but I think it’s the people you meet that do that. I discovering new place is amazing, but meeting a new person is a cherry on top! Or maybe even base of the pie :)
