Overview
About Me
I love travelling and learn people, learn their stories and get their's perception of the World. I am an extrovert but I respect people's privacy, so if you are my guests and I see that you are exhausted I won't make you to talk to me or claim your time. But if I am busy I can be pretty into my things. Some say I'm a devoted friend, and other even say I am a reliable guy, so, you won't get homeless just out of sudden. And... what else... I don't think I am a bad guy. 😃
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I was helped by many people before here, and now I want to pay the World back. I know how hard is it to travel with relatively small amount of money, and I want to be part of those people who helped many. It is a right thing. And I also know that sometimes we get tired of hostels and hotels and want to stay over with someone who will not require to check out at 12 or provide with smelly dirty rooms... I want to make friends from all over the world and, once I travel somewhere again, trusted people I can rely on in their countries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Oh, I don't know really. Life itself is an amazing thing.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am pretty well at explaining languages. That is my thing. I am also not bad, I believe, at human studies' things. I love to learn people's personalities and ways of life. I can share my tiny experience if someone would love to be shared.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can offer a place to sleep and not a requiring mentally healthy host. I won't blow your brains with conversations and let you relax and be on your own. I won't make you to entertain me or force you to go somewhere.
