About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Have Fun

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a pretty easy-going, fun-loving and open-minded person, who hopefully can carry an interesting conversation. Being a news editor can be a very stressful and hectic job, so often I like to pack my bag and to put this view to the test, because I believe that new encounters and experiences better your quality of life.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to say YES to everything - it's the best way to be surprised by where life takes you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted people in my living room, and once I've surfed a couch in Montreal. The first time is always memorable but I'm still hoping to widen my experience.

Interests

I'm an old-school photographer who still uses film cameras, I also enjoy sports and I always try to find the time to read a good book, watch a great movie or just hang around with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer indie, folk and classic rock music, from the Beatles to Muse, but I also wouldn't run away if something popy or electronic was playing. In books, I love Haruki Murakami, Ayn Rand, Neil Gaiman and many others. And as a true former film student, it try to watch all movies - but have a special soft spot for Tarantino, Coen Brothers, Tim Burton, David Fincher, Almodovar and so on...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things are the ones you think to be impossible - until you do them. For me, it was chasing sea turtles while diving in Hawaii, or jumping off waterfalls in Slovenia. But on the other hand, a simple view of a sunset can also be breathtaking...
