I'm 28 years old,
I'm friendly,
I try to eat healthy,
I love to travel and train,
I am clean and responsible,
And.. I've never surfed before! So looking forward to the first time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Talking to people from different parts of the world is always exciting.
Hostels are cool really, but you don't always get a chance to start a conversation.

Regarding hosting availability - I would have accepted guests, but I have two roommates who are not very fond of the idea..
I am also not a night life expert, but if you want to know what's there to see around, do ask and I'll do my best to help!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
I love to listen to scores from movies. Don't have a specific genre as I like the variety.

Movies
Airplane! cracks me up, Jurassic Park is holy, and How to Train Your Dragon is a masterpiece.

Books
Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.. (I'm a boring bestsellers reader)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last October I won the European Cup in Taekwon-Do ITF (Pattern II Degree category). I guess that's pretty cool.

I have a Facebook album called "Kicking Around the World". You can imagine what's in there, and I'm really proud of it :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach
I am a certified Taekwon-Do ITF instructor.
I can teach animation, Photoshop or other editing softwares.
I was a professional photographer for three years, so I guess I can teach that.
I can teach Spanish as I learned it on my own before traveling to South America for half a year.

Learn
I'm learning Russian, and while I can definitely have a conversation, I am still a long way from being fluent.
I'll be happy to enrich my knowledge, so feel free to teach me anything.

Share
I like to prepare maps of places around the world before I go visit them, so I have a variety of (in my opinion) very useful maps!!
I am also making a document of the best TED Talks that I saw, so I'll be happy to share it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Heck, I'll talk about anything!

Here's my Instagram account which I use to upload scenic photos that I took:
