ABOUT ME

Greetings!
I am a former student of Finance, Management and Economics.
I value my friends and I absolutely love making new ones as well.
I'm a pretty honest, modest and kind-hearted guy, I would like to believe.
I also have a fondness for intelligent discourse, good music, good food, board games, partying and good people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed on two couches in London for 3 nights in April 2012, and it was a fantastic experience - something I can't wait to tell my friends about - cause they all perceive it to be weird and unsafe, whereas really given the right host and the right guests, it could be an experience of a lifetime.

Interests

Singing, acting, organizing things (I am an MS Excel freak!), social work (I volunteer for charities at every opportunity), swimming, Basketball, gymming, following English Premier League football and making films.
