I perceive myself as a positive human being, full of energy, spontanious but responsible.

I like thinking about how to make this world better. Since I am an educated urban planner and facilitator, I am very interested in people empowerment, housing and humanitarian support. Even though I work right know within planning in Norway where question of people comfort is not as urgent as in developing counties I still try to work with people for people.

A head full of fears has no space for dreams.
Our only limit is the one we've set ourselves!
Those two phrases often drive my life :)

My interests are paragliding, bicycles, hitchhiking, extraordinary people, climbing, horse riding, guitar, piano and music at all! I dream (and already try) to be good in skiing so I could use my randonee skies on 100%.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travelled a lot before settling down in Norway and used this platform a loooot while having a common CS profile with my friend. Now its time to pay back for all the hospitality I got from people.. Soooo, you are welcome!

Looking back on my experience I believe that coincidences are not coincident and if we meet someone then it is for something. What it means exactly - future will show! You never know, may be we will meet again in Murea while monitoring of biodiversity of the island ;) (it was random, but you got the point, - you never know)

Music, Movies, and Books

Not really into hard core music, the rest works fine for me. I like to have a background blues music in the evenings. I love songs which trigger good memories. The song might be shitty but the memory is so good that I like it anyway :D
I never had a TV in my life, and watched very few movies. But I would love to get some recommendations if you know about a movie which is really really worth to watch.
Reading Shantaram before going to India, and Angels and Demons before going to Rome made my stay in both places very enhanced. But my fav book is still Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My life is one amazing thing I've done, and these few chapters listed below are just small part of what I've experienced on my life journey:

Jumps from different high cliffs (200m), buildings (25m), antennas and bridges in Greece, Crimea, Ukraine and Belarus with a rope which we installed self with our team.
20 months of continious hitchhiking.
Living 100 days in India.
Flying with my paraglider above Sahara desert
Hitchhiked a boat in Laos and Myanmar.
10 days of silence on Vipassana meditation retreat in Malaysia.
Have been in places in India where I was not allowed to be.
Singing songs all loud I could in the woods of Sakhalin island not to be attacked by bears.
Being detained in Cambodia.

And much more which I would better tell you personally ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to be an addict of life :)

I really need to learn how to skate before I turn 90. I still have a lot of time, but if you can do it - pleeeease, teach me now!
