Overview
About Me
I don’t regard myself as a great traveler though I cannot imagine life without traveling. I'm rather an old-school traveler type and the idea of ticking the boxes on the world’s map doesn’t appeal to me at all.
When I’m on the road I usually stay off the bitten track and choose those less popular places, far away from the crowded touristic places. I love spontaneity along the journey as a response to its unpredictability. Very often traveling gives me the answers to the long troubling questions...
I don't travel as much as I used to. I love the work I'm doing, and activities of 'regular' life here in Wales and maybe that's why I don't go too 'crazy' about traveling anymore. More over, I enjoy hosting travelers at my apartment which sometimes feels like traveling as well.
In day2day life I live in Cardiff, Wales. I work as a bridge engineer. I play guitar, dance salsa, do yoga or do gardening. I prefer listening to a good podcasts or reading a book rather than wasting my time in front of TV. I love being in the nature and simplicity of life, therefore a picnic in a local park would always take preference over a lunch in a luxury restaurant. I love concerts especially rock, folk-rock, punk, metal, etc.
I'm not really pub person.
I love meeting new people, Sharing experience and passion. I’ve got a spare room in my apartment in Cardiff which I usually let on another platform. I’m happy though to host a CS every now and again.
