About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn more about myself and the people and the world around me.

ABOUT ME

It's quite difficult to describe myself. I'm not very emotional. It doesn't mean I never smile- I do a lot) I really like people and enjoy talking to them. I love mountains, nature, trekking, music, good films, books.When I was younger I enjoyed hitchhiking and was attracted by the hippies culture. I like to develop, but I'm not fanatic about anything.
And some information about my son. He's 14 years old now, loves animals and ice cream. He does dancing classes (Contemporary). He loves nature, especially mountains and the sea, but any forest or park is aso good for him. He's curious though he can be quite shy with new people.
We are not vegetarians, but we don't mind you eating vegetarian food or even cooking it at our home:))

PHILOSOPHY

Well...I find these Mark Knopfler's words genious "There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones"
So everybody has his own way) And my way is to learn to accept things and be myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people from different countries. I surf other people's couches when I travel. For me it's easier to host than to surf. I prefer to have friends in other countries and visit them as friends not only couchsurfing. There are some things that I don't like but can accept (people are different and can have different experience). I understand that it's impossible to send a request to only 1 person especially if you don't have much time. For me at least my name in your request is already something. But when I look for a couch, I always spend hours reading profiles because it's important for me to find a person that I could talk to, a person that has something in common with me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think couchsurfing gives me a great opportunity to meet people from different countries, and as I myself used to travel a lot and surfed other people's couches( i did't have internet at that time - just some addresses in my notebook) and I understand how important it is to feel at home when you are far from yours.

Interests

Work, work, work... I'm really very busy with my work - but i like it so I'm a happy person)) I like spending time with my son, helping him to discover the world. We enjoy rollerblading, walking in the forest, sitting by the fire. I love my friends who are very helpful(you can see - almost all couchsurfers nociced that). Good films - at last I can watch films without falling asleep(one of the greatest achievements in the last years)))

Music, Movies, and Books

Books
Allen Guinsberg, Ray Bradbury, Marquez, Kortasar, Kerouac, Kundera etc...
Music
Rock, pop rock, art rock, psychedelic(the 60-s), ethnique, blues, etc...
