About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Today is gonna be a great day!

ABOUT ME

I'm a guy who likes to travel and keep moving and doing things, I'm curious about many things, really curious, and a big fan of wikipedia, yes I know...it sounds a bit freak but when I have a question I have to solve it... it's a pity that my memory isn't so big as my curiosity because I can't remember so many things.

I like to put my self into the things I do and to do it with passion when i feel it.

And of course I love diving, commercial diving, the underwater world and all about the sea and sailing, I like the smell of the sea while deep breathing or the fresh wind on my face on the sea shore, and getting into the water to feel one with it. Doesn't matter if it's a sunny summer day or a rainy and stormy day, I love it anyway!

PHILOSOPHY

Smile! everything becomes easier..:D

Tempus fugit!!! The life is the best present that we have, and there are plenty of things to do, so that's our chance to enjoy it...take it easy, don't worry, and try to do all the things you'd like.

I Believe in Karma and energies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To see new cities, share experiences and especially to meet people and make friends everywhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've got many good experiences surfing couches, and during meetings or parties. I love the way it helps the people to connect everywhere, at home or in the other side of the world, and how it helps to find interesting people and makes your trips fully.

Interests

I love to travel wherever.. cause I've realized that sometimes you don't need to go too far to find a nice corner, is more about the feelings...and of course I love to meet people, that's why I like so much CS.
I like very much geography and history,and while travelling it becomes part of the trip. ;)
MUSIC ( I need the music always in my life), snowboard and cicling, I love watching movies and documentaries, to read a good book sitting in a couch, I love a glass of wine and a conversation, or hang out for a beer with some friends.
Something that I really love too is cooking, I like to take some stuf and to prepare a yummi dinner and it's always a pleasure to cook with friends.
Extreme sports and outdoors activities in general, or simply to walk through the forest with my dog breathing pure air and feeling the nature.. Thats great! I love nature and wildlife...
And I like to do many things, because then I feel alive!

-Living the whole summer with my best friend in a hostel in Krakow, in a 14 beds room!! ^_^ Meeting many interesting people every week and just enjoying a lot!
