About Me

Amateur musician, film geek and dreamer open for people of all races, classes, political views and music tastes ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My wife and I know if for years - visiting foreign countries without getting to know their inhabitants makes no sense. So far we did it by Airb'nb but now it resembles more Booking.com than the P2P service.

We started hosting foreigners ourselfes when the war in Ukraine broke out. We hosted volunteers traveling to enlist to the Ukrainian foreign legion, people fleeing the war and the volunteers helping the Ukrainians travel to the other countries.

Interests

When I'm not at work I play my beloved piano - mostly socially involved music as punk and reggae. I believe I can change this world a bit with it. When traveling my wife and I love to explore abandoned buildings, especially industrial ones. When there's no urbex to explore we hunt for geocaching secrets, the craziest are they disguised, the better :)
