ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

forever young

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel mostly alone (but always with a camera). I often spend the night in a hostel where I meet other travelers but most of all I meet local people. I avoid hotels and tourist places. I look for real life, even if I find it in commercial places. I have to feel the pulse of the place, smells, sounds, I have to blend in with the crowd and landscape, hear another language. For me, travel is not about seeing (often important and historical) places, but above all meeting the people who live there. When I can spend time among people, in their homes, I am happy and I know. Only then do I know that I am getting to know a real different country, a different culture. People are important, not hotels..

Interests

There are few things that don't interest me. But my true passion is photography and traveling. Learning about life in other countries, on other continents, listening to people's stories and capturing these moments in photos. I'm interested in people, psychology, media, but also cars :) I'm a busy and active person who finds a bit of pleasure in everything I do.

However, leaving home, especially to another part of the world - it's always an amazing experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classic rock, jazz, soul, local music of the countries in which I am. I like dance music and dance.
I like the most ambitious American films and good films from other countries, especially dramas, melodramas and historical films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every new contact with someone while traveling (and not only), and especially time spent together, is special to me. I could describe many such memories, but I guess this is not the place.

One of the memories:

While in a hotel in Mexico, I wanted to see what life was like in normal families on the outskirts. I met a girl who lived in a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of the city. She agreed to show me her life. In the evening, she picked me up from a gas station and took me to her grandmother, and then her mother, in the slums. At night, we did shopping and had dinner in her small apartment. I slept on the floor in a small room where seven people slept. Early in the morning, I could watch the day awaken, how the children woke up, who had to go to school? Then we went to drop off the child at kindergarten, did some shopping, visited her familiar places, ate on the street, danced in the schoolyard, where women had fitness classes. I observed this life and absorbed it. Of course, I took pictures. The next day I returned to the hotel. Of course the best day of my stay in this hotel was the one when I wasn't there :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like to learn the stories of people and the places they live in. I think I am emotional and very open to other people.

I can share myself if you are interested. But I will definitely be able to tell a lot about photography, I can share my experience and also make a session and an unforgettable album from the meeting.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like meeting people, listening to their stories, taking pictures. I can share knowledge about my photography
and people I met before.
