About Me

Curious, world traveling, nature loving, lost wanna-be-hippie, who is alterning between being an IT project manager (while at home) and pseudo-Hindu-pilgrim and surfer (while traveling). I've been in too many places and lived on too many continents to go back to normal, so I guess I'm gonna be lost forever :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I was in Slovakia I hosted people, twice 6 people at the same time, and realized that couch surfing is amazing way how to meet interesting people and have fun. During my travels around the planet I also tried the other side of CS - being hosted.

Interests

I love photography (I'm a maniac), music (especially 60's and 70's rock music, Doors, Hendrix, Joplin, Guns 'n' Roses, Pink Floyd, Springsteen, Elvis, ...), guitar, literature (Hesse, Bukowski, Blake, Neruda, ...), surfing, eastern philosophy and religions, kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, skiing, food and rum :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One?
Then it's gotta be: the last 3 years when I lived in Australia, Peru, Czech Republic, Georgia and Spain

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting people who are into arts, who do something unusual, are liberal and open-minded, who love fun and like to hang out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My lovely apartment (why the hell am I never there?), content of my fridge and top shelf rum. And time, of course.
