I consider myself as an energetic, straight and honest person. I like speaking with the people about their lives and share my life experience. I were in different countries and would like to visit more.

I believe that the main thing in life is to feel yourself happy as much time as possible and I'm working on it now. :-)

Beside of that, I'm an IT specialist. Worked as a developer for some time. Then I worked as a CIO and CEO in different companies. I'm in IT for more than 15 years. Now, I left a work for some time, to think what I would like to do further.

I like traveling, long-distance running (up to half marathon), open water swimming, cross-country skiing.

I have experience renting my flat via Airbnb and recently I even have got Superhost status. :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to communicate with people from different countries. When traveling I booked shelter via Airbnb, but it's more like hotel replacement, better, but still not so many talks with a host. :-) It's a little bit boring for me.

I would like to improve my English.
