About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Utilizing the sometimes "animalistic" longing for sports and competition to promote charities.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel without being a tourist (apparently this is a very common trend now - anyways, I still like it ;). So, basically I always keep thinking I am special, and then I read the latest study on my generation and it is spot on: Caring for values again instead of wealth, higher focus on friendship and family instead of career (currently I am trying to get to a 2-day work week), no car etc.

Anything that still lets me stand out? Nah, when I'm in Turkey they think I am Turkish, when I'm in Spain they think I'm Spanish, when I'm on the Balkans I'm from exactly the country I am at the moment - and the same goes for the US. Maybe it is time to discover Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

My favourite good deed is creating a smile or a laugh on others - so yes, I think I am different in how actively I influence my surrounding with merriness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Give and take, while I/we would love to host, unfortunately are travelling ourselves quite a bit. So do not hesitate to ask (no long text needed, I`ll read your profile and hope to answer within 1-2 days).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted a couple of couch surfers during my student times and on a regular basis I host students from abroad for events, which are organised in the city I currently live in.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
