About Me

Hi,
i am a bit extroverted, with dark-ish sense of humor and instinct for first principal thinking.
Much of it might be subjective to my view of the world, however I like to discuss ideas, solve problems and challenge myself.
Nature fascinates me and i am quite fond of hiking a mid to long distance trails during my travels.
General attitude could be described by 'yes theory' mixed with C.H.Bukowski poem "Roll the dice".

When not working I enjoy improvisational theater, stand up comedy or some sports like BJJ and climbing.
And of course chess game with talks over tea. Those never disappoint.

When i drink it is usually a wine, whiskey or watter-with-leafs.

As a surfer:
I think i am social and perceptive enough that we will get along fine. With big respect to any host just read my profile and decide if i am someone you want to host :-)

Thank you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that it is the best version of meeting people along the way during traveling. I do not look for comfort, just a place and time to share with interesting people. Came here just out of curiosity to break/extend my social bubble.
but ...
Because of the awesome hosts,
the wonderful guests,
unique bits and good talks.
I discovered along the way
pretty sure - no doubts
I am here to stay.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Entire GR20 trail, out of season, alone.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share the teachings of improv comedy, stand-up and stage performance. Some climbing or BJJ basics.
Can teach you how to setup basically any techie device, build your own linux distribution and much more if you would be interested.

Would love to learn how to cook a thing or two.
Also, i am learning how to play harmonica and write in Chinese, can help me out ?

What I Can Share with Hosts

My mind, to the extend to which i can articulate it.
I welcome sharing time with people. Certainly would advocate for sharing ideas and stories.
Game of chess over a good tea but if you are up for a party, i am with you.

Also - I am technically skilled, I can repair and fix stuff ;-)
