About Me

I would call myself an "inquisitive dreamer" :D
Yet, honestly, I don't like to define myself, either somebody else, I would rather choose to believe, that we, human beings, are something much more fluent.
This goes for my "abstract side" :)
On the other hand, I would call myself rational a lot. Now I'm running my own startup and this kind of stuff requires a lot of reasonability. And passion. Strong vital passion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As you can see, I'm quite new on Couchsurfing, yea I would really-really love to try to be a "Couchsurfer". After 2 years live in Barcelona I realised how awesome random people interaction can be (well, not super random, obviously). This all is about sharing positive vibes with each other and if you are able to do it with strange people, this is like "positive vibes X 2" :D

Also, I consider this service as a great way to share cultures. I just super passionate about this kind of stuff. To share and to learn something new. Isn't it for we are "here" for? ;)

Interests

I love nature a lot. To merge myself in it, finding the tranquillity.
I enjoy deep, interesting, intellectual conversations.
Cooking is something that starts to I trying myself at quite recently, enjoying both and the process, and the result.
As an architect, I really care about feeling that space case a visitors. Thus interests in sociology\psychology.
At home I have 4(!) dog. I just adore them!

Also, everything that is related to startups\enterpreneurship, if you don't mind :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My master thesis. Sounds boring, but it was a true "adventure" for me, I was (and still I'm) really passionate about it. If you'll dare to ask me about it, you will get 15-30 min super emotional (in a good way) and very interesting (I hope) story about it ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes! My culture. I can cook you something tasteful! Fun stories, but it depends on the context. If you have a dog(s) I can walk them with a great pleasure!
And just be a very neat guest :)
