About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to do my best making the world better

ABOUT ME

Creative, active, easy-going...
As many of us here in SC I like to travel, to know something new, to meet people. It is not about collecting touristic impressions or phone numbers and emails of people I know all over the world. I collect stories, experience, moments of discovering and facing something really not common, that changed me...

I like to listen to the people, talking face to face for hours.
I am curious and I have more questions then answers.
I will never stop I suppose, but it the same moment I just cen feel lost in a moment, in some brilliant moment when you forget about everything just feeling that you are now and here.
I like to write letters and to receive them as well ))
I like to create something unusual at work and in everyday life.
I like to walk at night through the city.
I like surprises and some strange things (to meet someone and become close friend to him during one hour).
There are many things I can tell, but will they give you a chance to know me really well? these are just words))

PHILOSOPHY

we should do some great effort and the world will become better.
Anyway life is the main gift for us, and even when you feel pain - try to smile and go further
There is no mistake, there is just your choice and your position. Anyway all you have - is an experience for you, so you should understand something new from every situation - bad or good.
And of course - the main thing in this world is LOVE and FREEDOM))))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can show you my city, tell a lot of stories and give some advices. Sometimes I can host
I feel like hosting people or showing them around I become a part of someone's journey, isn't that amasing? and also it depends on me how people will remember my city and my country, with what image they will return home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

very positive! I would like to say thanks to the person who invented it!
This is really amasing to discover so many nice people all over the world!
