About Me

I have recently finished my university studies with a major in industrial design. While I love designing objects that make people's lives better in one way or another, I feel that people - including myself - cannot be defined by their major/job. I'm also interested in anything interesting which is, interestingly, many things, like minimalistic hobbies: I like writing because of how little you need to create something (pen+paper); I like philosophy (where you don't even need the pen or paper); I like improvised theatre for its lack of props; I like photography because of how easy it is to press the shutter and simultaneously hard to create a meaningful picture; I like debating topics that I haven't got a clue about; I could carry on since this list is inexhaustible but let's stop here for the interest of the reader.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love Couchsurfing because of how it defies the concept of close-proximity based friendships by allowing likeminded people from different corners of the world to connect.

Interests

I love and NEED humour to deal with life - so I enjoy doing improvised theatre and stand-up comedy.
Sport-wise, table tennis is my go-to game, I could play it for hours - as long as I'm winning.
