Passion for travel has always driven me to explore and find myself in some of the most amazing, colorful, flavorful places and meet kind people. Experiences give me a bigger and more lasting pleasure than material things,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love connecting with new people, exchange experiences, knowledge. No tour guide is better than a local person giving you the inside information about places to see, restaurants and bars to try, music venues to check out.

Music, Movies, and Books

A good book is my best companion whenever I travel, especially if I travel alone. Usually have up to 5 books going at the same time, some of them have waited for their turn for quite awhile, some of them have lost all hope of being picked up again. Recent best discoveries include Joseph Mitchel "Up in the Old Hotel" ( a collection of short stories that brings eccentric characters of New York city of the 1930s to life) Zadie Smith, a master of saying things without explicitly saying them.
