We are like most of people - we are at work till 17-18:00, but after work there is days we are running and maybe we don't have time to spend with you to show the city, but couch is available anyway. In weekends we have more time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is all about people! You will never know how cool, crazy or just normal people you will meet and thats the fun part :) And nice if you can help someone with hosting or showing the city or help with information. It is good for your karma too :) I like to spread out good in my life.

I had my first couchsurfing expierence by attending an official, major CouchSurfing event in Tartu, Estonia. It was 3 day long sauna event with Estonian sauna masters. I enjoyed a lot - sauna, helping plant trees in my hosts farm in countryside, meet all kind of people. Still i am wondering how different, good and friendly people are all around the world. And looking forward to enjoy it more.

Hosted people from Switzerland, Bulgaria, Spain, Russia, Lithuania, Germany, Georgia, Chile.
Surfed in Estonia, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, England, Hungary.
