About Me

It is hard for one to describe oneself but I will give it a try. Since I was little kid, I was really interested in foreign countries, different cultures and history. So, instead of playing with toy cars in my childhood, I used to look into the atlas, collection of maps. This probably explains my good knowledge of geography and knowledge on many other subjects. For being so interested in the world, I started to travel relatively late. But after I made the first step, it made me hungry for more.
Today I try to balance my family obligations and travel, as much as time permits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am trying to be active part of CS community.I hosted and have been hosted ..... really great to meet all those people who shaped my life one way or another.

Interests

There are so many things that interest me so it is hard to mention them all.
I really like hiking in nature and roaming on the streets of villages, towns, cities.
I love sound of the music.
I am very interested in history and (political) geography.
Learning foreign languages is also my passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitch hiked many times in Europe for long distances. As I like music very much, I am very glad that I had opportunity to see some great bands live.
And the last thing which I should probably put in the first place is being a father.
