About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Break steriotypes

ABOUT ME

I...
...love all that's new: new places, new people, new experiences.
...like the extremes, everything that's just normal doesn't attract me. Has to be the heat of the Sahara or the cold of Siberia, the vibe of a party or the peace of a island.
...am not much attached to material things (not anymore), I need only what is in my backpack.
...am always in a different place, so I make new friends very easily.
...will communicate by signs with anyone who doesn't know any of the 5 languages I speak.
...go to inhospitable places just to know how it is.
...try to be always correct. I pay the bus even if no one check.
...don't plan. I go with the wind, so don't have date to leave or to arrive.
...have many skills but don't know what to do with it.
...hate lies, thieves, smuglers, con artists, cheaters.
...don't have much, but share what I have.

PHILOSOPHY

After every action folow a reaction. They can be good, indiferent or bad.
If we just have good or indiferent reactions, the balance in the end will be positive for all of us.

People should DO, SEE, KNOW and LIVE, instead of HAVE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't really know, first offering a place to stay and any other assistance travelers may need. When I'm the guest I try to be polite and helpfull.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All good so far. Not only surfing but hosting too.
Compliments to two special cases:
1 Lyubomir in ST Petersburg. He not only hosted me and my brother for a few nights but took us arround, show the places, told the history... His efford made our visit a complete diferent experience!
2 Bartek in Krakow. During the time I was there he hosted at least 30 diferent people. He would even have breakfeast in silence to not wake up his guests! There is no limit for his kindness.
