Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By opening our home for interesting temporary individuals we not only reach out to help travellers but encourage the cultural exchange of diverse ideas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have hosted a dozen of guests since we joined and surfed a couple of couches here and there in Europe.

Interests

Animation, cinema, theatre, music - that and much more.
I am an artist and a film maker and my work and curiosity about other cultures and exotic nature has taken me to many amazing places in the world. I love travelling, and my travels are always connected to my filmmaking, to spending time in nature, to meeting local people. I don't need luxury for travel, just inspiring environment and friendly atmosphere. Meeting local people while travelling is how you get to know a place.
Which is why I like to return hospitality to visitors and travellers myself. I don't accept couchsurf guests at the moment because I moved and in my new place I don't have as much space, but whenever I have a free room in my house or while I travel I give my place to visiting artists and friends and try to introduce them to local life here in my home country.
