I love meeting people and learn about them, their culture and their places. Started surfing couches in 2006 and next to hitchhiking I'm finding CS the best way to fulfil this affection, wether as a guest or a host. I'm a software engineer and people lead with deep interest in both. My profession made me privileged to live in few awesome places around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe getting to know people is essential part of travelling - CS makes it easier to bring people together.

Interests

I'm truly concerned about the state of natural environment so I do a lot to live my life with least negative impact on nature.

Travelling doesn't usually go in hand with the above, unfortunately, but it's hard to give up on the passion to explore and learn about the world having so little time here. So I try to do it in possibly sustainable way and make up for the footprint by supporting environmental organisations and nature trusts.

Coding software means to me creating solutions and value which bring satisfaction to the people who use it. It's rewarding and allows creativity fulfilment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungy jumping from Kawarau Bridge in NZ, watching sunrise above (under) Everest from Kala Pattar and sunset performance on a face of Ama Dablam in Nepali Himalaya, enjoying a breeze on a bus roof to Pokhara (Nepal), surviving hundreds autoriksha rides allover India, touching Asian elephant's skin, successful hitchhiking from Alice Springs to Uluru in the middle of Australian Summer, hitchhiking a helicopter above the Great Ocean Road, meeting green-eyed Dingo outside tent in Kakadu, riding through Aleppo's Souq on a motorbike, living on a boat in one of Amsterdam's central canals, driving a truck in Borneo on a pretend-to-be-road... not really one thing, though
