About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Perceive, discover, share and love!

ABOUT ME

I have some sunshine in me, some of my friends say - and I like to think that too. Because this 'sunshine' can keep you young for years, make you move and enjoy every day of your life. I might not be very sophisticated in my leisure - mostly action things like riding the bicycle, running, trampolining etc.
I also enjoy my work very much and can tell a lot of stories related to it (we arrange medical help for the people in need around the world).

PHILOSOPHY

Freedom (the one that is not hurting others' freedom), responsibility, awareness, awakeness and honesty - these are driving my world around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Only surfing for now but slowly getting into having my own place in Sydney. Also attended some CS meetings in Moscow

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met only great people during my CS experience. I haven't hosted anyone yet but I'm eager to - right after moving somewhere with more room :)

Interests

LIFE!

Surfing, snowboarding, trampoline, skydiving, scuba-diving and any other '-ing's I'm about to try further on. Love traveling and immersing myself in other cultures and people.

I also love music and singing, ready to hit karaoke anytime.
I also love talking to people, try to see the motives behind their actions, learn new things about the world around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming with dolphins in the open ocean at sunrise
Was buried in the ground for 35 minutes with just a hose in my mouth to breathe
Naked, going downhill on my ass into a hot pool - from a snow slide at night at -15C

Teach, Learn, Share

I do wudang qigong and taichi-quan Chen style. I also know some meditation practics (as well as some healing techniques)
I'm also way good at teaching snowboarding and maaaybe some trampoline tricks :)
