About Me

Dreamer, activist and educator, working at big corporation by day and running my own NGO in my free time. Like to get lost in a new place and just wander randomly or sit in front of the window of a cafe and just look at people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to be able to travel and meet people from different countries, cultures and walks of life. To have a chance to live like a local, even if only for a few days. To make friends and acquaintances with people whom I wouldn't have met anywhere else and listen to their stories and share mine.

Interests

Learning languages, modernist architecture, history of art, savoring foreign cuisine, birdwatching, traveling, ZOOs.
