About Me

Sometimes shy or a bit sociophobic and egocentric. Definitely more intro- then extravert. Quite calm and polite, quite honest (sometimes overly), open-minded, distanced and sceptical towards everything (and usually not very "enthusiastic"). Sometimes with crazy ideas, not very hard-working, not very strict or rigoristic, with specific sense of humour. Much more individualistic than collectivistic. Likes to listen. Prefers to talk about "outer space" than about "weather" (actually, normally I`m trying to avoid any kind of "small-talk"). Always hoping to discover new universes in the least obvious places...

Generally I tend to prefer meeting people individually. I appreciate if we can find common grounds (interests, worldview) and kind of mutual understanding.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Usually i`m travelling by hitch-hiking (not always, it would start to be boring then, probably), in quite a minimalistic way, with general, not very exact plan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is kind of my passion. Through websites like CS its sometimes possible to meet people with similar interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate...."

Not exactly, but it would be nice anyway...

Teach, Learn, Share

I`m not a good teacher (although nominally I should be), nor student, although I`d like to learn as many things as it`s possible and maybe somehow I`ll yet manage also to teach you something (if you`ll tell me what actually would you like to learn :) )

What I Can Share with Hosts

That`s a good question.
Stories. Strange stories. Funny stories. Boring stories (it all depends how to look on them). And whatever I`m having with me, so unfortunately not much ;)...

Countries I’ve Visited

Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Malaysia, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russian Federation, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Turkey, Ukraine, Vatican City State
