CURRENT MISSION

Seeking one

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as a rather attentive and easy-going lad. Hardly ever reluctant to hold a conversation. Driven by passion for life, people, travelling and challenge to leave the familiar to discover the unfamiliar

PHILOSOPHY

Viva la vida

Learning through experience &
exposing myself to as many fascinating events as possible
before realizing one is too old and tired to carry on with such an approach any longer. Fingers crossed it won't take place any time soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host and surf.
Surf and host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Initially used it over the university period, along short and a bit longer travelling ventures, which pretty much meant being hosted exclusively. Having seen how other fellow homo sapiens accommodated total strangers turned out to be a truly eye-opening experience which led me to return the favour for those mainly travelling in Saigon or Ibiza. Hearing tons of intriguing and inspiring life stories has become another rewarding aspect and a drive to participate in the initiative more and more.

Interests

I tend to pay attention to anything that seems new to me and allows to expand horizons. Though travelling, literature in general, photography, politics, music, cultural initiatives and cinematography (especially what's called "classic films") are my main fields of interest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

None amazing. Quite a few interesting worth sharing in reality, when accompanied by a decent atmosphere, and perhaps a glass of red or a pint.

Teach, Learn, Share

In certain circumstances (i.e. when NOT miserable, hung over, hungry and thirsty), could strive to indicate why it is better to " always look on the bright side of life" than to sit and cry over the pathetic existence
