eeeeeeee, emergency!! Read this first!
I live La Jolla now! Very far from the city center :(

I have new roommates and they do not want couchsurfuers :( So until I can convince them otherwise, I can only meet for a coffee or drink! And some sightseeing :P

The only free area is the living room, which has a nice comfortable couch with enough room for 1 to sleep on =]]] Two others can sleep on the floor if they dont mind, or on the kitchen table, which has happened. Smoking is fine on the balcony and yes I can show you around on my off days from work. Also my roommate has alot more free time then me and hes always excited for meeting couchsurfers :P

I have internet and a computer. I don't mind you using my computer but please try to limit your porn search with redtube or chans, my comp is half-dead already, an extra piece of spyware might kill it for good.

I don't have any pets, so there's no threat of catching an allergy.

Also, if your going to ask for a couch... please include the word "poland" anywhere in your message so I know you actually read this :) Thanks!

Personal Description

I just heard about couchsurfing and am excited for my first CS experience this summer in Europe :D
I want to travel to at least 140 countries. Even if that means quitting my job and straight traveling for 3 years :D

Movies,
Music,
Social events,
Anything to everything.

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

We first met in a train in Japan and spent two days together, we went on a trip to a lake and bar surfing during night time, with michael and his friend mike.
We departed and over a month later micheal had contacted me to see me after they had travelled through russia, so we met again in Finland and spent 2 more days together.
I think I know him quite well and I think he`s a really easygoing guy with a lot of funny ideas. If you have a plan he`s there with you.

Michael has got a great sense of adventure and grand plans for the future. Always smiling and up for meeting new people. It was a real pleasure to host him.

Your always welcome at my place, wherever it is London, Astana or anywhere else I will end up in the future. Make sure you learn some more Russian though! These few words you know wasn't enough to get any numbers! ;) Next time you must be better prepared mate!
