I'm quite easy going and always up for adventure. I'm working as a particle physicist right now (no worries, I'm not not a stereotypical one - and yes, I did hear that nerdy Big Bang Theory joke several times before). My job took me to Japan, where I spent most of the time in last 3 years, but I'm back in Europe now. Even though I like my job, I prefer doing completely different things in my free time. :)

I love travelling and diversity that it brings. I love trying new things, from taking a local cooking class to trying out new extreme sport and even learning languages like Chinese, Japanese and Swahili didn't stop me! I'm flexible enough to get all muddy at the festival on one day and dressing up for theater on the other. I believe getting to know the country is through people and I love joining locals and explore hidden gems with them.

The worst thing about me? I'm never 100% dedicated to one hobby, I'm always seeking for new adventures. :-o And the best one? I'd say - the same ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because travelling is not only about places, but also about people :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm...
Does tandem skydiving in Europe with view of three different countries from the top count?
Maybe having guts to get locked into the most strict and isolated country in the world for eight days (yep, I was one of the lucky 5,000 foreigners, getting into DPRK in 2017)?
Or finding random (harmless-looking) guy with motorbike in Kawangware slum (Nairobi), informing him he's gonna be my guide for the day and ending up having an amazing tour around the city, feeding monkeys, meeting his friends and family, and ending up upsetting my guardians by missing my curfew?
I mean... How am I supposed to pick just one?! :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a good listener, even better chatter and I'm not offended if you laugh at my clumsiness! I can always share stories from my travels - I even won competition with one of them (topic: what went wrong while travelling - yep, been there, done that... several times!). I'm sure we can exchange some tips and hacks for good travel deals :)
