I don’t usually like to talk much about myself, so in three words: father, husband, volunteer.

When I travel, I try to keep it green – often hitchhiking, walking, cycling or choosing slower ways to move around. For me, the journey itself and the people I meet on the way are more important than rushing to the destination. I enjoy discovering places step by step, connecting with locals, and seeing everyday life beyond the tourist spots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of exchange – giving and receiving, sharing and learning from each other. In the past, I’ve had many positive experiences through cultural exchanges and different accommodation networks (like Hospitality club), and I enjoy how these connections often turn into meaningful memories. For me, Couchsurfing is less about a place to stay and more about meeting people, sharing moments, and creating a sense of community while traveling.

Interests

I like cycling, hitch hiking, reading, playing guitar, collecting mushrooms, swiming, making freakbikes.
