I'm doing El Camino De Santiago starting with 19th of May 2016 . I'm gonna be on the French route, starting from France. I intend to spend around 2 months on the way or in Spain. I'll have a very low budget regarding accomodation & food.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm an optimist person, I believe I'm fun, I like to meet new people, drink a beer with them and discuss about the meaning of life :) Really, I think there is more about me than that. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I've started working in a hostel, I've realised I love to meet new people from all over the globe. I had some great nights, having great fun and also having great knowledge exchanges from a lot of domains. However, I've realised that staying in a hostel it is not always a "nice"experiences. A lot of people are there just for the beds and an 5-6 hours sleep, and they try to avoid any small talk. I do uderstand that, and respect their choices, but in the same time I want to experience more. So, just by sleeping and having a shower in one's house it is already a cultural experience for me. Add in a beer and a night talk and we're a match! :)

Interests

- Biking: In the summer, the bike is my main way of transport. It is very painfully for me to take the bus in the summer. So, anywere I go, I go by bike and I love that.

- Social Media & Advertising: I've worked in a couple of agencies, and learned a lot. I've worked with big names from different industries, I've worked with a lot of bloggers and VIP's in order to develop creative campaigns and obtain rewarding results for my clients. However, recently I've quited the industry in search for something more fulfilling, and honestly, I'm still searching.

- Travelling: I do love visiting new cities and news countries. I'm more into geting lost on the streets & getting lost in the life of that city than sightseeing, I prefer to discover the city, and not really run from one sight to another. I do love to meet people, and learn the local language. I'm always trying to learn new words and use them in my relations with the locals.

- Tea: Yes, I do love tea. I also have a small tea business with my girlfriend. We develop & sell special tea packages & custom tea bags. For exemple, one of our main products is a custom heart shaped tea bag. :) Here is an example:

- Food: God, I love eating :D

- Kids Summer Camps / Kids Parties: I love playing with kids, and also teaching to them. I am an Instructor in Summer Camps and I teach them how to do knots, how to make different kinds of fires, how to build a shelter in the woods, how to climb, and many other things. On the other hand, I am an animator at kids parties, dress myself up as different characters like Mickey Mouse, Batman, Superman, etc. and play with the kids at their parties. More about this on our website: http://distractx.com/

- Spiritualism: I very interested to learn from all of the religions, and spiritual practices. Over the time I have found the same meanings and practices in different faiths but just under different names. I like to explore this domain when I have any occasion.

- Gamification: I study and I try to apply it in my projects. Gamification means using game elements & mechanics in non-game contexts in order to find solutions to different problemts, increase productivity or users engagement in any domain.

- Nature: Hiking, sleeping in the woods and discovering the nature.

- Playing & Learning the Ukulele: I love the Ukulele and I'm still learning a lot, but I feel that I get better and playing the Uke day by day,.
