Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great opportunity to meet local people 😃

Interests

I am a tech-savvy guy 🚀 In my free time, I love studying old civilizations and modern societies (it combines religion, history, poetry, music, and art.) Sports play a massive role in my life. I do yoga, mountain climbing, and triathlon (swimming, running, cycling). As a hobby, I studied Tibetan massage, kinesiology, physiotherapy, osteopathy, psychosomatic muscle relief, mind-body correlation, heart disease, HRV, and CNS. Passionate about natural herb healing, and Ayurveda treatment. Big fan of Dr. Sarno, Wim Hof, Jerzy Gregorek, Thomas Mayers, Joe Rogan, Tim Ferris, and Naval Ravikant.
