About Me

I'm very friendly, easygoing and optimistic person.
My friends often say 'adventurous' .... for sure I'm working on that part :)
So far I have twice lived abroad. One year in Norway (Narvik) and just recently almost two years in Vancouver Canada. Both I very much enjoyed.
I love long conversations with open minded people especially over the bottle of wine when sunset meets sunrise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My biggest dream is to travel the world, to live in various parts of it where I can meet people and learn about their passions.
I am sure CS will help me to live that dream :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music sometimes sets my mood and sometimes I set it to fit it .
JAZZ relaxes me and prompts me to focus on individual instruments and how they brilliantly sound together. I love live jazz sessions, especially with saxophone or violin.
PUNK ROCK gives me energy for boring activities like cleaning, washing dishes or organizing my wardrobe.
REGGAE more than once helped me to survive morning commute in crowded city.
POPULAR music - is there better way to go crazy with your friends than sing your best notes of Freddy's Bohemian rhapsody , Frank's New York New York, Britney's Sometimes or 4NonBlondes What's up on karaoke night?
MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS - When I liked it I would play it on repeat until I can't stand it anymore. (i.ex. Lord of the rings, Shelter(2007), The Greatest Showman(2017), Call me by your name)

Movies are my biggest addiction. I'd love to say that I choose carefully what I watch. But the truth is I watch way too much... It's not easy to fight it, especially since Netflix.
I love movies with psychological twists (or any twists, really - remember? I'm addicted ;) ), I like to guess the ending and the more surprised I get, the more I like the picture.

Books, unfortunately, are losing the battle in my life with motion pictures.
I read way less than I used to but I try overcompensate it by listening to audio books. I'm getting better with it. Especially while traveling.
