ABOUT ME

I enjoy traveling and meeting new people and cultures. I'm always open and searching for meaningful experiences and genuine connections. Exchange of knowledge and kindness are some of the things that have shaped me into who I am today.

In my free time I like to read, go for hiking or walks in nature, meditate, and talk about range of subjects.

"The real voyage of discovery consist in not seeking new lands, but in having new eyes.“
~ Marcel Proust

... and the "new eyes" can be attained through openess and travel :-)

PHILOSOPHY

I strive to live a meaningful life, so to fulfill the responsibility I have towards myself and others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Up till now I had opportunity with surfing, hosting, meeting up and organizing CS events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started with couchsurfing in 2015 while traveling in Mexico, and then after that in South America, Egypt, India and Iran. I can only express my deepest gratitude for meeting all of those people with whom I stayed, and learning from them and/or from the situations. It amazes me the amount of trust that the hosts have given me, by opening the doors of their home to an unknown person. It's an amazing and a heart-warming thing when someone invites you to their life like that.

Interests

Psychology, meditation, fitness, history, astronomy, music, art, self-sustainable architecture and living (earthships, cob houses, permaculture, biodynamics...).
I also like outdoor activities like walking, treking, hiking, camping, gathering with friends around the fire in the evening.
