About Me

I do: hike,camp,cook, laugh, experience,enjoy,respect. I don't litter. The BEST thing which can happen to you while you are traveling is getting lost!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed
a child picking something up and gently putting it into the ocean

Approaching the child, he asked, “what are you doing?”

The child replied, “putting star fish back into the ocean, the surf is up and the tide is going out, if I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”

“Child,” the man said, “don’t you realise there are miles of beach and hundreds of star fish? You can’t possibly make a difference!”

After listening politely, the child bent down, picked up another star fish, put it back in the surf and smiling at the man, said

“I made a diference for that one."

You are my star fish!

I love traveling and meeting new people . The best way to get to know someone is to stay with them at their house and sometimes literally walk in their shoes:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Place called Meteora in Greece. There are a few monasteries on the top of the mountains which used to be a bottom of the ocean thousands of years ago.I felt that if I hike I deserve to go inside more than if I simply take the bus.
Iguasu waterfalls on the border Brazil and Argentina.
Titikaka lake, where people permanently live on handmade floating islands, fishing ,exchanging their fish for other food.
Rome in Italy. I only had 4 days.I divided the map in 4 parts and walked almost every street on that map.Slept 4-5 hours a day and felt absolutely in love..with the city
