About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making money for travels ..

ABOUT ME

Hi,

I am always interested in how things work in other places, their history, politics, societies. Also languages and people's allday life. Have a degree in Russian History.

I was travelling the Couchsurfer-way a lot and know this thing pretty well since 2005 (and yeah, my photographs are quite a old; the most recent is the ear cleaning one)

PHILOSOPHY

The best things always happen when you don't plan them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a lot some years ago, but havent been very active recently. Its just that I made friends in most of the countries I've been the last years and now I just visit them.
I really appreciate people to have smart discussions and just a good time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used cs/hc a lot all around europe and just love it!

Interests

Languages, cultures, people, sports, new people telling me new stuff etc.
I used to love hitchhiking, as a different way of traveling, but I guess I am gettin old!
I love football and liked to see some grounds away from my home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not too well educated about everything and mostly never follow trends and what's new, but stick to the old, that still is good. Almost any kind of music, used to like the Chili Peppers when they were funky and related things. Jazz, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Blues, Classical Music, Rap. Guitarstuff á la Bob Dylan, Neil Young; Afrobeats.

Woody Allen movies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a bath in a river during a flood, which in retrospect was quite a stupid thing to do I guess ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a lousy historian, so everything I know about let's say II. World War or the Soviet Union you probably already know from TV.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Two bottles of beer

Countries I’ve Visited

Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Russian Federation, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Ukraine, United Kingdom
