About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently living in Lisbon, Portugal :-)

Don’t take life too seriously, you won’t get out alive.

ABOUT ME

I like cynicism and sarkasm as a style of humor but definitely not as an attitude toward life.

My passion is traveling and getting to know inspiring people.

I tolerate everything but racism and nationalism.

I don´t believe much in self-judging, rather read what others wrote about me in references, I like the most those written by Ken Ruml and Aleksandra Kiereta.

PHILOSOPHY

The best in this World aren´t things but moments.
- Karel Capek -

Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get.
- mother of Forrest Gump -

Hope is not a conviction that something will end up well but a certainty that something makes sense - regardless of the outcome.
- Vaclav Havel -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Occasionally do both host and surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I ve surfed in Spain, Ukraine, Latvia, Russia, Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia and I always met friendly hospitable people and I ve hosted several travelers in Prague too. At the moment I have only good experiences.

Interests

I enjoy any kind of outdoor activity. Especially I love long (up to few days) exploring bike trips and jogging. Lately I have discovered (hot) yoga and surfing and I immediately fell in love with both. Also I am a foodie fond of craft beer and fruity wine.

When traveling I prefer authentic experiences and off the beaten paths. Exploring foods and beverages.

I follow the news, fancy documentaries, read travelers blogs and watch movies.
