COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in the Provence region during spring 2011, and i had super cool hosts - read the references i left and i get:) - it was an amazing experience for a first time cs user. So, i got in love with this style of travelling. After, i hosted some people during summer, and now as summer approaching again, I'm about to repeat..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solving Rubik's cube, or developing my first analogue film that was real magic at the moment.

Biking along the bay of Croatia with friend while sleeping under the sky was real fun, especially i couldnt be sure wether my friend would be able to do that as he rarely bikes.

At my last couchsurf - that was long time ago - i discovered an area with small houses at a fairy tale like bay, looking at the sea with small terraces in the level of the water after running an hour by the Mediterranean see with my host, that was terrific.

Otherwise a real challenge for me was making a short film out of nothing, in a place where i dont know anybody and get accepted in a film uni after that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught mathematics a few years ago, I did it for free in a a student organization, for grammar school students in their final year.
Teaching is a great way to learn about myself, I want to continue it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share you my visual knowledge in the form of taking a stunning photo of you or your favourite place
And if time allows i'd happy to cook something for you - though the list is really short of what im capable yet
