I am a recently-graduated PhD student. But that is not important. The important part is that one day I decided to travel around the world on a bike. Since then I downplayed my plans to travel "only" South America on a bike, from Ushuaia up to Colombia. Want to know more about my journey -- check out my blog at https://bike-it-yourself.com.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One reason is to save some money -- going for a year-long biking expedition isn't very cheap. But that definitely isn't the only reason -- I really would like to know more about culture of places I am visiting and I also want to learn Spanish in the progress (and what better way to learn Spanish than to converse with people?)

Interests

Hiking, biking and taking photos of nature. And accepting challenges. Seriously, it wouldn't be me if I did not try it.

Music, Movies, and Books

A bit unconventionally, I like Japanese anime (mostly because of colors). Studio Ghibli is the best.
