I am an engineer working for a renewables developer. I basically buy and sell power plants with my team. I try to enjoy my life as much as I can and not fall into routine of a corporate life. Outside of work I enjoy sports and music. I wrestle frequently, sometimes go running or swimming. I go to the gym, if I have enough time. I used to sing in a punk rock band and book hard core concerts later on. Though nowadays I listen to classical music most often at home. There was also an episode in my life associated with film-making. I don't eat meat in everyday life. I live my life actively and take up new challenges eagerly. I don't want to waste the opportunities that life offers me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to find budget ways of travelling and having an opportunity to interact with locals. The way you view a place that you visit is totally different depending on whether you stay in a five star hotel or with a local family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is a bunch of things that I could write here. Let's pick as the one that is most convenient to share the fact that I was parachuting at the age of 17 and had one interesting occurrence associated with it. When I was jumping alone for the fourth time, my parachute did not open and I had to open a spare one. This made my emotions rise. I was then close to landing on concrete instead of grass and risking breaking my legs. In the end I got out of this alive and healthy.

Teach, Learn, Share

The section "Teach, Learn, Share" is a bit confusing for me . I don't know, what to write here. I don't teach people anything. I don't tell people what to do. I just accept people as they are.

I might share information about the trends on energy markets. Though many might find it boring.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company; my good sense of humour; stories from my other travels... and of course my couch and my shower.
