I am a professional in construction sector in between of 2008-2014
But everytime, I am trying to be a man that the world will proud of me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I planned a little Eastern European trip at 2014. I would go Kiew, Lviv, Budapest, Bratislava, Prag on the plan. But my host changed my route from Budapest to Krakow, Poland. And when I arrived at Krakow, my host changed my route again from Bratislava to Wien. I cancelled bus tickets and I found some cars on blablacar.com to share the road. This was a real adventure. I think, 'uncertainty' is a secret funny thing in a trip! This is Why I'm on Couchsurfing!

Together all of these things: for good friendships, for drinking beer, for deciding new travel destinations, for playing backgammon, for better dancing, for fun.. for enjoying life!
