About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To try real long time sailing. To start active practice as a psychologist. To write a book about how sailing and psychology principles meets.
ABOUT ME

I earn money as freelancer in area of 3d-graphics. And spent them in my education in psychology during the last 3 years, and have just started working in this new area. I have a wife and 5 children. I like travelling, meeting and talking to new people who are really curious about how everything works.

PHILOSOPHY

All Illusions always lead to suffering. While Reality is panacea from all problems. Because Reality is Life, reality is God. So I am just trying to work with my illusions, be every moment as close to Reality and don't interrupt the Life living trough me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like getting authentic non touristic experience and CS is probably the best way to get it.
