About Me

I write Python code for a living, and I am very grateful for being able to do it remotely. My spare time is dedicated to writing more Python code, reading, reviewing kebabs on YouTube, cycling, exercising in the gym and learning Spanish.

I am mostly on Couchsurfing to meet fellow travellers when on the road. As I earn decent income from my job, I prefer paying for accomodation as it gives me more flexibility when visiting a place. However, if I do message you with a couch request, it means I found you highly interesting and would like to hang out with you :). I am NOT using Couchsurfing as free Airbnb or Tinder!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe that hanging out with locals is the best way to experience a country. Famous landmarks and monuments - sure, but I still prefer to visit a local bar or a grocery store. It tells a lot more about the local's lifestyle. That is also the reason why I dislike staying at hotels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eaten a soup, ice cream on a stick and drank from a soda bottle. With chopsticks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tough question. Hopefully a time to remember, an insight into another culture and a new perspective on life. But sharing materialistic things is also fine with me.
