About Me

I think life has no meaning, but if we fight really-really hard, we can get closer to making it meaningful.

I'm making anti-establishment memes on TikTok, working for a circular economy startup, and planning to start something on my own soon.
I'm a maker. I often get different business ideas, sometimes I execute them, and they often fail.

I don't like the people who traveled across the world only to drink beer and recite Fast and Furious quotes at night with bros. Traveling is about seeing the world and changing yourself.

Married.

Lately, I have been putting attention to enjoying the life to the fullest - having quality meetups with friends, spending time in nature, using my body, and being myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a way to explore the world for me, and a way to have honest talks with people I will [probably] never meet again.
So far, I've met a lot of great people here offline, and I even managed to do some "online Couchsurfing" during the pandemic. The dude in another country mentioned that he was organizing TEDx, I offered my help, and we did it together.

Actually, I'm actively supporting the causes that are important to me.

Interests

Another thing I'm interested in are NGOs. I'm currently helping one, but I'm curious to understand how can we deliver a positive impact at scale.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a meme book with my favorite memes printed at home.
I like some of the A24 movies.
I also love Chinese traditional music, although I don't listen to it daily.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited a couple of abandoned flats in Pripyat, Chernobyl, right after having lunch in the local canteen. I was pretty scared of opening the doors of the abandoned flats.
And that was before the release of the series on HBO.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with job search/interview prep because I'm good at jumping through the hoops in the recruitment circus. Can tell you about software product management. Can teach you some of the basic tools that you need to build a digital product.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Maybe I will plant a communist seed in your brain. Or let's argue about what will come after capitalism.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Moldova, Montenegro, Norway, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United States
