About Me

ABOUT ME

School teacher, athlete, trrraveler

PHILOSOPHY

Be man and do what you should

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host when can, follow invitation when can and sharing the stoke of stories even when cant )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveling can broaden your thinking and can give you feeling of what real life is.
Most times I met hosts on a way and invited to visit my home. And consider myself very lucky I met those human beings - it made me believe in happy life we have an opportunity to organize and share.
Cs helps with that too. And I had those similar magic experiences using it.

I believe that couch is not always what we should follow but be open to new experiences. And would like to name places I slept in while traveling:
1. Some of them we visit regularly: Restaurants, shops, airports, train stations, garages, hospital
2. Some we visit less often: beaches, forests, caves, left and under construction houses, roofs of the buildings,
3. Religious people are good guys too so Buddhist Temples, Mosques, Churches weree my shelter sometimes...
4. Those very special for me:
Sleeping on the cliff with eagles flying round
Just sleeping on city river embankment for the first time
House of tea pickers near the waterfall in Sri Lanka
5. And all those people who met me for the first time and invited to their home will stay in heart too-thank you guys!

Music, Movies, and Books

In school I was asked to make a list of them but it doesnt fit to the section size ))

Though can name few:
Forrest Gump, Matrix, Avatar, Lord of Rings, Catch me if you can, Ameli, 1+1, Mask
I love worth action movies and comedies (with soviet ones going as a list apart), cartoons of Pixar and some anime by Miyzdzaki.

What about books:
Little Prince, SPIN by Reckham, Master and Margaret, The art of happiness by Dalai Lama... oh, maybe better divide in sections up to interests:
Classic, humour, psychology, traveling, sex

Music is better without words so can relax after non stop daily communications. Therefore simple piano, arfa, hung drum from soundcloud are my good friends. When in mood can listen to Jack Johnson and russian rock, even rap.
Music to dance in nightclub and played with and by friends are favorites too )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Followed my heart

Meeting real people round the world.
Surfing ocean waves, watching their tubes from underwater and sharing the stoke.
Nature wonders, mountains and sunsets of any kind.
Sex with love and just spending time with woman you love

Teach, Learn, Share

Having serious attitude to information, hobbies and work allows to share really interesting things. Though since the cup is far from filling do open for new. What to share is much better understood in real contact since its about not only "what" but "how" also
