Overview
About Me
I enjoy freely travelling and learning other cultures, people, different ways of life.. I make a living from numbers as a financial analyst, but I enjoy spending my leisure time with people, listening to their life stories, and also with volunteering, mostly with kids from low-income families and children from foster homes/orphanages..
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like travelling with my friends, but sometimes I just want to travel by myself to experience the real feel from a new place. Coachsurfing seems to me as a very natural way of getting to know a town, city, village, ....but most of all the local life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I am not a person of ´one amazing thing I´ve done´..I prefer much more doing ´every little helps´things...like small ordinary efforts on daily basis, that make somebody happy, or smiling... the other day I spent some minutes talking to homeless woman who was asking for money and I listened to her story, and her memories about her childhood, how she liked the school and especially maths and how she recently found a book of mathematics in the litter bin and she wanted to refresh her mathematic skills by reading it..it was really a lovely talk..and I saw that it made her happy that someone is listening to her, not just avoiding her..
