Overview
About Me
I am backpacking in Southeast Asia and AUstralia at the moment, happy to hang out in the area. CURRENT MISSION I have a few, including : learning how to code, playing harmonica, traveling all over and starting my own business ! I also plan to write a book about geography and history. ABOUT ME I am an easy going guy, who likes meeting new people and learning about different cultures and lifestyles. PHILOSOPHY Dream is the beginning of success. A winner is a dreamer who never gives up. In my opinion there is no such a thing like one, ultimate philosophy. Every man has to find his/her own path, take pieces from different philosophies, views and create something unique and personal. The most important thing is to stay open, tolerant and being always willing to learn - this is the way to become more aware and spiritual.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I surfed during my holidays in US, Mexico, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Hong Kong, Australia and thanks to CS there were my best travels ever. Couchsurfing is truly a great idea, it brings us altogether and makes you realize that the world is actually full of good people who enjoy sharing knowledge and being helpful to other human beings. I experienced it many times from my CS hosts and when I stayed with some people who I met on a train or while hitchhiking.

Music, Movies, and Books
Tarantino movies, Forrest Gump, Mulholland Drive, American Beauty, Black Cat White Cat, Alien, Family Guy , Catch Me If You Can and many more.
At the same time I consider tv as the worst human invention - it eats brains !
Rock and electronic are my favourite types but in fact I listen to very different kinds of music, I am open to new styles and genres, if you know some good pieces, just let me know.
I like Wilbur Smith books, Sophie's World was great too. I cannnot picture a day without reading anything.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Snorkeling at dawn by the cliffs in Kealakekua Bay when nobody was there.
Camping under the starry sky feeling that I am a part of something bigger.
Once at the new year's eve party I saw a naked girl skiing on a "snow" from a fire extinguisher.
Not to mention pieces of furniture flying off the hotel windows. I really enjoyed that party !
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to play flute, juggling and make an origami shuriken.
I love long discussions about history, science, culture, politics and future of humankind.
I'd like to hear stories you find interesting and learn some facts about the place where you live, something that I cannot read in a guidebook.
I will share my enthusiasm for traveling and meeting new people!
