I love travelling and meeting people with different cultures.
I'm a funny, open minded guy, polite and like to discuss for lot of things, enjoy hanging out with good company and doing things different than the most classic ones! Which ones?! Ask me, or I'd be happy to hear your ideas too!

Things I like doing:
Travelling - well of course! 32 countries and counting
Chess - Playing strong tournaments around the world was maybe what pushed me want to travel even more!
Photography - the need to express the artistic me!
Reading - both relaxing and educational for me, preferring classic literature or history books
Concerts, music events

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel quite a lot and couchsurfing is the best way to meet new people and visit a city with local eyes. That's my philosophy, so that means the reverse also applies and I like helping people achieve it!
