About Me

Growing up I always dreamed about exploring the world. After High School graduation I realized my dream by doing 2-week Eurotrip on limited budget with Euro Rail(best means of transport for exploring europe) together with a friend. Since then my appetite for exploring new places has only increased.

Knowledgable about finance(have worked for known international companies), economics and psychology. Used to play competitive basketball. Recently have picked up dancing salsa - so happy to put theory to practice if an opportunity strikes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had heard a lot of positive things about Couchsurfing from my friends. I had always wanted to try but never had the opportunity until I missed my flight back to Europe from the United States and needed to kill few days.
