About Me

CURRENT MISSION

PEACE in the world!

ABOUT ME

Currently I work in cultural management, organizing various events like concerts, presentations or festivals, recently mostly film festivals. Bringing people from various cultures and counties together seems to be really fascinating, that's why I always seek for international projects. I do a lot of other things like travelling (it's my heart-felt desire), sing in a choire and I am absolutely crazy about our choire trips to other countries. Every time it is unforgettable experience!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to miss it...

Dont't wait for a miracle - make one!

Veni, vidi, vici!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It seems to be amazing to explore the world not with the help of dull travel guides, but through getting aquainted with new people! And from the other side it makes me really happy to be able to show the city I live in and the city I really love and admire to the people that come here.

Interests

I am a real culture freak: I'm crazy about music, I like museums, theatres, architecture, reading and learning the cultures of all over the world. And of course travelling! It is one of the most amazing things in life!!!
