About Me

inexpert traveler, yet eager to explore the world step by step, starting from Europe. Interested in local communities, music and arts. Looking forward to be introduced to the way people live across the world and happy to share my experience and philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience the city - and I am looking for someone who knows the place. I am not interested in cliche tourist destinations that much. I'd rather get the essence of how things go from the local perspective. With a slightly festive aftertaste of course

Interests

Definitely - architecture and music. Also arts, movies and sports. All around person.

  • arts
  • architecture
  • perfumes
  • marathon
  • running
  • movies
  • music
  • sports

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - electronic music, techno, all kinds of future garage etc. Also I like hearing glam rock and rock classics on the radio.

I read books about architecture, not a big fan of literature tho

Started to watch movies lately - hard to define fav's but suppose it's Trainspotting, Brasil, Shawshank redemption, American beauty, Into the wild,

And Absolutely the one and only:
TWIN PEAKS

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can not name a single thing. I'm average in all ways. But one adventure changed my life - I was going to London for 1 summer and I was late for the plane. I was offered to get on the plane, but was not able to check in my thoroughly packed luggage. So, I decided to go as I am - with no stuff with me, with no place to stay. Well, I was only winner, I changed my character during the summer, lost 30kg's of my body weight ( I was way too heavy), after 2 years I was able to run full marathon distance and I was so cool, that I met my girlfriend and was able to actually date her.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open minded, tolerant and always ready to learn something or to give a lesson, if someone is interested in what I have to say.

What I Can Share with Hosts

No problem with sharing everything I know, can and have experienced.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belarus, Czech Republic, England, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In
