About Me

Architect and interior designer by occupation and I truly believe this is the thing I would love to do always. I am quite fancy about photography - both digital and analogue and I would like to experience and to learn even more about it.
Sometimes I believe I could be a not so bad chef in some small restaurant - honestly I really love finding out more about cultures by tasting their local and traditional food recipes, I love nice (mostly crafted) beer and very very nice wines.
I don't like crowded and touristic places, always fancy to see some secret, almost (or completely) illegal local spots. I truly like mountains, but prefer the sea, I love mornings, but I am quite night person, I would like to spend some time in charming small village, but I am totally in love with big cities!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I really love the idea for sharing - sharing not only a bed, but sharing emotions, sharing your city and finding a new one. It's not only traveling and sightseeing but finding new friends and discovering brand new cultures and horizons around you. I am not really interested in all 'famous' tourist places but in the real spirit of the city which you can find only on secret places with the help of local people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spend last five years in five very different places - moving to completely new place and lifestyle without ever being there before. It is both super challenging and amazingly refreshing and it opens an unthinkable new horizons and feelings inside you. Also to live and work there have to learn all about the culture, language, traditions, etc.

Why is it amazing? Because to live at least one year on places like these is far away from just visiting them for a couple of days, weeks or even months. To share the city and its emotions with the local people, to feel the energy of the city and to make great new friends in one of the best things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Can't offer even a bed at the moment, since I am sharing it already, but I can share my entire experience and knowledge of the city where I live in, as well as about number of other cities I've spent the last few years.
