CURRENT MISSION

Have as much fun as I can take and learn!

ABOUT ME

In a decade-long, working hibernation, now finding myself terminally travel-bug-bitten.

Originally from Eastern Europe, grew up between two countries and am now a fully certified citizen of the world, claiming no specific affinity to any single culture. Working for the past decade as a professional Graphic Designer mainly in print, I'm curious, open and eager to learn and to experience whatever interesting things the world has to offer.

I'm generally up for anything and am looking forward to collect more stamps in my passport. I love learning new things and am always up for a friendly chat. I prefer experiencing new places from a local's point of view, hence I love to couchsurf with like-minded, friendly natives.

Sincere to a fault, you can ask me anything, just be prepared for brutal honesty. I am a veritable font of useless trivia, which is hopefully at least marginally entertaining.

While I prefer chatting with friends to large crowds, I do have a yen for the nightlife when the inspiration takes me. I pass judgement on no-one and appreciate honesty, openness, consideration and tolerance in kind.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for living, yeah, that's my philosophy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Alas for the moment, being an itinerant with no fixed address, I can only offer my meagre wit and patchy knowledge. I contribute by sleeping on people's couches and driving them to distraction. Once properly housed however, I intend offering my future couch to all and sundry!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Seasoned couchsurfer outside CS Project, years of experience. Finally getting qualified.

Interests

Anything interesting. Among others: travel, meeting new people, learning about new cultures, hobby anthropology and philosophy, reading, anything graphic design and technology related, meeting kindred spirits and such.

I have survived my first week on The Playa: a cynic no more!
