Howdy Traveler, welcome to my profile! I've been doing this for a loooong time so here's the thing: if you want me to host you, please don't... ...send a copy-paste request. ...have nothing or very little about yourself in your profile. ...send last-minute request. Now, let's begin with some definitions: - A traveler is a person open to new ideas. - A tourist is a person looking for comfort and relaxation. - A traveler does CS, eats, travels, laughs and cries with locals. - A tourist goes to a hotel, buys souvenirs and takes package tours. About me: 80% traveler, 20% tourist. PHILOSOPHY 'Compare yourself to who you were yesterday not to who someone else is today.' (J. Peterson) 'Host also people whom you dislike.' (Angela H., a sheep farmer from New Zealand) Don't let your phone distract you from the real world around you. Pick up hitch-hikers. Don't be politically correct. Never trust your intuition.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I am an experienced couch surfer, I've done it 60+ times. I've had about 3 bizzare experiences but no bad ones really. I couch-surfed in many places around the world. Apart from CS I've stayed with people whom I met on the spot. If you want me to host you, include in your message the following: I am a sheep from New Zealand. I once got in trouble on a random Indonesian island where I was just about the only traveller. A young boy of 18 years helped me big time. Some years later he got brain tumour. He asked me to contribute for his surgery. I did. Today he's 36.
Музыка, кино и книги
When it comes to music I prefer silence. Books that changed the way I look at the world: Guns, Germs and Steel (J. Diamond), Black Box Thinking (M. Syed), Outliers (M. Gladwell), Thinking fast and slow (D. Kahneman) Films I can't stop thinking about: Eyes Wide Shut, Mullholland Drive, Grand Budapest Hotel.
