About Me

I like to travel my own way. I often to go to touristy places, because some of them are worth a visit, but I don't need to see everything. I enjoy going abroad and read a book in local coffee shops just to feel the atmosphere of that country. I missed some famous sights because my CS hosts needed to do every day's chores and I was more interested to see that than the sight.

You won't meet me at the wildest parties. I've been to Full Moon party in Thailand and did not like it. I like small groups of friends, pubs and bars. Music should not make my ears hurt and should allow me to engage in a conversation that won't make my throat sore the next day. Such things make me tired and annoyed.

I believe in equality and in taking responsibility for your own life. Freedom and education are the two most valuable things I have and allow me to do what I want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted plenty of people in Prague, Kuala Lumpur, Fukuoka and Sydney.I have been hosted many times. I had only positive experiences. CS allowed me to see how people in the country live, be it locals or expats, and that is the most valuable experience for me.

I took a long break from CS though, and now I am back to see what happened to this community.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Classic and modern rock, punk, ska

Books - I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy when I was younger, but I enjoy any good book

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've taught children from low socioeconomic backgrounds some basics of computers and made some of them interested so much they started making their own games. Once I got a billionaire join my fundraiser for these kids.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn an interesting phrase from your language! I used to do that while couchsurfing and had a lot of fun. But I think I forgot most of them now.
