About Me

I am an explorer, learner and adventure seeker in heart and I really love being around people, sharing stories and experiences and having fun.

The first 25 years of my life was pretty much scripted. Highschool, college, and work. I graduated as an Audio Visual Engineer, but worked mostly in the IT field. Somehow I felt that I didn't fit into the box so I changed jobs more frequently than others change underwear. Then one of my friends introduced me The 4 hour workweek book by Tim Ferriss, and it changed how I think about money, value, life and freedom. At the same time I stumbled upon an other book called Way of The Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman and from that moment I started my self-improving journey.

From time to time I like to challenge myself (trying new careers, new hobbies and meeting new people). I've started enjoying "those small things" in my life. I love being around people and sharing stories. I think everyone has something to teach. Travelling is not about the museums and old monuments for me (however I like ancient history), but more about the culture and people.

From September, 2016 I'm going to be on a one-year long trip through Europe, The Caribbean and North America with my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First, I like to experiment, and try to make my trips as cheap as possible. Second, and it's more important to me, I want to make new friends and immerse myself in the culture instead of just being a simple tourist. I'm currently planning a long trip, but later I'd like to provide a couch too.

Music, Movies, and Books

My No. 1. books are the Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman, the Four hour series by Tim Ferriss and the Muse by Csaba Brasko. Besides those I mainly enjoy reading self-improvement books and adventure stories.
I don't really have a favorite genre in music. What I listen depends on my mood. I like a wide variety of music from symphonic, through jazz, pop, EDM, progressive house and trance, rock, nu metal, d&b, dub step to glitch hop and so on. Similarly, I watch all kinds of movies, but my favorite genres are adventure, comedy, action, drama, sci-fi and I'm a big fan of animations. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you ice skating, life hacks and some creative skills (like Photoshop, audio and video editing, design, etc.). If you want to face your fears, you need some motivation or just someone to cheer you up, I'm also good at it. I also gladly tell you about my culture and my small country which I'm proud of.
