Hey!

I am Michael, 27 from London, I spend last few years working in start ups and real estate industry.

I've been living in few European countries, and now after few years of static life decided to "check what's out there" dissociate myself from urban life, and meet people with similar outlook on live like myself.

I worekd 10000 jobs including Bartending, waitering, maintenance, all sort of physical labour, Sales& Marketing etc. in the places like B&B in London most exclusive location (Belgravia), Helping in hostel in Carcavelos (Portugal), working in warehouses of Netherlands and even delivering newspapers on bicycle in the middle of Scandinavian Winter (well it was in Denmark but Scandinavian Winter sounds extra dramatic).

I am not scared of working outdoors, indoors and not really fussy about conditions, easy going and I generally set myself to experience places I visit in the most involving way.

I love Snowboard, Surfing, Longboard, fitness, yoga attempts, trekking, and I am pretty sure I can beat you in table football.

I can cook a little ( if by a little you mean the most awesome, the least known Central European meal, GOULASH - google it now :)

I am also really keen on sport doing everything starting from boxing, muay thai and weight training to exotic stuff like parkour (well I used to). I know the basic of movement and functional/body weight training, and had fitness instructor training so am more than happy to help in morning fitness classes ( or evening).

I can find myself around the people, I use to perform a little bit of stand up comedy in London - it was probably crappy but I still loved it.

If you have a dog, I will probably attempt to steal it :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I spend my time active in winter there's snowboarding in summer swimming and hicking, sometimes hick-hiking. I use to live in the beautiful band of sudety mountains, since my childhood I was backpacker-kind of person. I can talk hours about politics, history, or biographies of unconventional people. I do love singing but let's be honest I totally can't :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love mafia stories, all godfather's trilogy as a movie and the book of Mario Puzo. About the books - "The Master and Margarita" is the best definetely. From movies propably "Forrest Gump", "Into the Wild" , " The Doors" and "Fight Club". I usually listen to 80' rock, like Guns'n'roses, Areosmith, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Bruce Spreengsteen, but I also enjoy other kind of music. And I do belive the best paries are in accompaniment latino music :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love spontaneous traveling, but as I have notice from experience spontaneity is a hard work with about 80 percent of possibility of me being in wrong place in a wrong time. However the 20 percent that left are astonishing experiences, and I still wait for the best of them.I did cross the Europe from Croatia to Poland without money, phone, food,and supplies but WITH SUIT IN MY BACKPACK.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got a wide range of interests from physics and creating of universe to biography of Richard Branson, and cultural since with a aswer for a question what Danish put into their birthday cake insted of candles. I am also kind of good swimmer (I've been a lifguarder), I can make a perfect drinks, and play trumpet ( but don't expect me to bring instrument with me :)
