I try to live my life to the fullest. I work hard but use my free time in 110%. Time spent with my family and friends, doing my hobbies and gaining new knowledge and skills keep me sane and give me energy to keep pushing forward. I love to be active but also I am learning how to rest properly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The moment I was introduced to CS by my friend, I knew it was a great platform with lots of interesting people. I love the fact that it is the community of so different people that are connected by passion to travel and eagerness to meet others. When I travel, I like to understand the local culture and immerse myself in the experience. CS definitely helped me to achieve that whenever I have used it during my trips.

Interests

I am a big fan of outdoors and sports. I love hiking and spending time in the nature. I like to try new things and develop different skills. I am really into pole dance, krav maga, boxing and pilates. I also enjoy going to the gym.

Apart of my routine, I am an extreme sports fan, I always look for opportunities to raise my adrenaline level. I have tried sky diving in Dubai, several bungee jumping spots, paragliding and canyoning. I have obtained my scuba diving certification couple of years ago and I am workign towards gaininng more experience.

If I want to rest from my crazy activities, I will definitely read criminal stories or go to the dance floor - I have been dancing salsa, bachata and merengue since I was 14 years old and it still brings me a lot of joy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to almost all genres, my Spotify is a mish mash of rock, pop, latin, metal, piano, classical music.

In regards to books I really love criminal stories, I especially enjoy books by Jo Nesbo, Harlan Coben, Robin Cook, Karin Slaughter, Stephen King, Stieg Larsson and Dan Brown.

I also like books about life that force me to question my choices and decision and re-think the way I look at the world.
