hi, i'm Szaman.

i work as a software engineer, which gives me the freedom to work from almost anywhere, so i like to take the opportunity to travel the world and experience new places. i like meet local people and other travellers, and go slow, 1+ month in each place.

I've done some memorable trips in my 20s, including south america (1.5 years), spain (5 months), uk / denmark (2 months), balkans (1 month), baltic countries (1 month).

currently I'm exploring different cities and countries in europe and would like to visit asia soon.

you can usually find me cycling around the city, playing board games in bars, pretending to work at coffee shops or enjoying some local craft beers, or hiking in the mountains.

from time to tine, i also like to go to music festivals, film festivals, amusement parks and modern art museums.

above all, i value freedom (in way of life, relationships, thought) and privacy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i like meeting new people, they're my source of inspiration
