About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Going to Finland in June

ABOUT ME

I am self-employed and run ER with my partner. Basically I teach English, but that's just a little part of my life. Mainly I want to create a new method of teaching English that is connected with fun, so people can learn English easier, because they care. I'm a curious one, always learning new skills and trying different things that can help me in my life. I guess I can be a jack of all trades)) but that's for my friends to decide.

PHILOSOPHY

This quote defines my philosophy extremely good: When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~Erma Bombeck

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to travel a lot and meet different people, perhaps when I am in their country I can help them with something. Occasionally I am able to host people, when my parents not at home. When I settle down, one room in my flat will be only for couchsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I do love travel a lot. I was very surprised and lucky to experience other people's hospitality by being hosted. I'm glad that CS is not just a place where you can find a couch and cut down your expenses, but it's a big social network where I can meet new people and contribute something to other members.

Interests

Mainly my interests are based on what I want to know, of course there are tons of basic interests which most people have. But my most important interests derive from my need of self-education. (for those who can't be bothered with my philosophical explanation - I like traveling, reading, watching movies, talk, drink good wine, playing board games and eating something new)))

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to well-created played music, which means that I can almost listen to anything which is naturally beautiful.
I like to watch movies about secret agents, politics, where I'd need to think and use my mind. However I enjoy watching simple comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I see amazing things everyday))

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to have your presence online (websites, payment options, business skills) I can help with English and just throwing some trash away. ))
