About Me

Totally open-minded person. into diversity of people and experiences.

Sometimes melancholic and overthinking about all the global catastrophies to-come, sometimes letting myself go and deciding that life is too short and not worth of overthinking once your heartbeat is there.
Briefly, conversating with myself a lot, but also very keen on sharing my thoughts with others.
In the end I am quite cheerful person ;)

Most of my personal philosophy is included in Lennon's 'Imagine'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting at some rare occasiosns, but mostly surfing, as a tool of slow-travel philosophy. I believe that travelling is to meet the locals, which is difficult in hostels/hotels, and you cant spend all of your stay in bars ;)

Interests

urban spaces, destroyed places, mountains, lakes, hiking, hitchhiking
also cinema, literature, analogue photography, contemporary art
it's very general, i know, but I find it quite strange to describe myself in words, especially written ones, so hopefully, see you soon!

  • literature
  • politics
  • movies
  • study abroad
