About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life at its fullest!

ABOUT ME

I'm a photographer, and there has to be a person - preferably with a smile - in every one of my shots. I make a living with it - not filthy rich, but very happy with this path. Can talk for hours about movies, but don't know much about the Kardashians. Prefer dogs over cats and women over men. Love to play with kids - they are an infinite source of joy and inspiration for me. Very careful with new food and old favorite shoes. Need very little space to sleep and lots of it for walking and talking. Love to watch people in their happiest moments (but not in the dark, from a car, through binoculars). Would not work for food, unless it's good old medium steak with french fries and green peas on the side. Would be happy to ride a bicycle, go camping, play frisbee, badminton or "chaos" (will explain rules when we meet).

PHILOSOPHY

Never had a chance to shape it into words. I quess, I love life and want happiness for myself and others, especially my loved ones.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A wonderful trip to Barcelona - first experience with CS, and a great one indeed!
Stayed over at a friend's place in Prague for a week - a test not every relationship will survive :), but we're still cool, dude!
Met a few surfers in my home city - always a pleasure to talk to someone new and learn what the world looks like from another person's perspective.
