About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To soak in culture and life , meet new people and share my experiences..

ABOUT ME

When studying in Commerce school I realized that most of what I have done has not reflected myself fully. And so the new journey began. After finishing art school things became clearer. Traveling, learning, and sharing have been top priority on my list and will most likely remain for the rest of my life. I keep an open and inquisitive mind, strive to help people and learn as much as I can.

The goal of my career as a graphic designer and photographer is to understand the world for myself. One experience at a time, I strive to grasp the infinite.

PHILOSOPHY

Being open and letting knowledge infuse worldly connections is the key to international well being and becoming a better world citizen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, as a starter I can offer my expertise on Vancouver, Canada where I currently live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Europe a lot of amazing people have opened their doors to me, and I hope to connect with more people like this.

Interests

My interests are vast. I love to share people's passions and hobbies because I know that those passions are the lifeline of creative people.

My personal hobbies include riding and restoring bikes (more like an obsession), photography, painting, typography, competitive swimming (or just swimming :), hiking, kayaking and weird foods.

Music, Movies, and Books

There are too many movies to list, but I am a science fiction nerd and love foreign films. Subtitles or not, I cant pass up an opportunity to watch someone's favorite film from their culture. The same goes for music as well. Every new film or song breaks down the pattern of globalization and reminds me of the overwhelming source of ideas worldwide.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a young sister, she is 8 years old. Seeing her grow up is the most amazing thing I have seen to date.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being a photographer has put me in many interesting situation where I had to observe. The key is to look and listen, while the camera sits patiently in the bag.
