I'm an IT person with 10+ years in programming. I love to work on the open-source project that helps to make positive impact on the world.

I'm traveling and working in blockchain and cryptography. I'm passionate about open-source projects.

currently, it’s 33+ country and here is lovely “+1” : Portugal! - one of my most desired places to visit for a long time!

Passion about Yoga (do it (almost) every morning)
In love with water sports: kite, surfing, freediving.

Amazed about wild tourism and exploring hidden gems by hiking, mountain biking, backcountry tours and kayaking.

I keen to Buddhism and Stoic philosophy.
Also love tea and Go game. (Would live to teach you to some of this things)

I honor and keep good old CS's traditions.

## When I stay with you and I send you a host request:
- I read your whole profile and agree with your hosting rules.
- I'm glad to hang out if we all want this. But more than ok to not bother you from daily life.
- I'm minimalistic, tidy and respectful. I will respect your place and time, and try to be flexible about check-in / check-out according to your plans.
- I love to cook. So I would be glad to cook something and have a talk over a tasty veg dinner. :)
- It doesn't matter to me where to sleep: it could be even on the floor with a sleeping bag. CS is about people.
- I'm traveling alone if otherwise mentioned.

## When I'm hosting:
(When I'm off the road, I'm happy to host fellow travelers from all over the world)

- I will be glad to do some activities together or show unusual places that you don't find by yourself.
- If you come to Cyprus, it will be my pleasure to introduce what this sunny island can offer. It could be hiking in the mountains, diving to the shipwreck, or guitar jam at the sea, and so on.. :)
- Please read my "home" tab before sending me a request.
