I'm a business analyst in IT. Contributing in design of sophisticated software systems for different purposes. I'm doing that because i like to create from zero valuable, problem solving solutions. Special place in my heart is reserved for startups :) like them and support as much as i can.

I am driven by curiosity and passion to discover the sense of things.

I'm an open, talkative and cheerful person, really empathic for the same passionate people which have interesting lives.

World provide us all possible opportunities, chances and challenges to be taken. Are we living to meet them with courage? Or for just passing by?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS says i’ve joined it in 2016. To be honest i’ve joined this travel-party looong time ago (before it was cool:)) while being a member of European student organization (BEST, kind of AIESEC) We’ve been organising student exchanges and learning programs through all over the Europe. (Was hosting students who visited that events)

We travel for have this special feeling - to loose the feeling of boarders. Pure freedom. When you just 1 ticket avay from any (ok, almost any) country all over the world. CS helps to millions of people to make this happen. Want to be a part of this community
