About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning to accept life in all its unpredictability

ABOUT ME

Nice, unpretentious and ready to explore.

I study cultural/visual semiotics and roam around the world in my free time.

PHILOSOPHY

I never regret what I did or felt at different periods of my life and it keeps me open to what the future holds.
I enjoy sharing whatever I have with those needing something no matter what it is: a couch, a tip on an interesting book or a music band or a precious evening spent on a meaningful conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

always open to hosting people, hanging out and showing newcomers around

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Really adore the whole idea of CS.
It doesn't matter whether you host or surf, just enjoy it, folks!

P.S.
Please, if you feel like staying at my place or hanging out with me, write your requests properly and respectfully. I get lots of messages from which it appears to be quite clear that people didn't even go through my profile page and they just look for a place to stay for free or want to have a tinder-like experience. It is ugly and disrespectful and I never reply to such requests. CS is the people you meet in the first place.

Interests

Roughly - traveling, languages, people.
To be honest, my interests are so diverse I can hardly put them into a couple of sentences on a profile page of a website. I´m trying to stay open-minded and search for inspiration in loads of hobbies, practices, experiences etc.

  • music
  • hiking
  • film
  • picnics
  • semiotics
