About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying not to wake up at the age of 40 something and realize I haven't done anything with my life

ABOUT ME

I see myself as a very active person with a lot of energy, who loves people and is looking forward to living a life full of incredible experiences.

"Happiness is only real when shared"

PHILOSOPHY

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars, and in the middle, you see the blue center-light pop, and everybody goes ahh..."
- Jack Kerouac (On the Road)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never used couchsurfing.com so far. But I have definitely couchsurfed (at least in a freestyle way) a bunch of times so far while hitchhiking around Europe. Some of the best ones are:
- We got a room at a hostel in Barcelona after cleaning the toilets for 4 hours.
- A crazy yet interesting couple in Munich offered us a night at one of the apartments they owned.
- A French student we met at a French birthday party of a guy we didn't even know offered us to stay on the floor of his small but cozy (messy as well) room.

I also offered my couch once to a Canadian guy who was travelling the world for 10 months with his flute, a bunch of t-shirts and a note-book where he would write stunning poems. He also danced to dubstep in a very freaky way.

Interests

I really love travelling, getting to know new cultures and sharing amazing experiences with amazing people.

Music is also one of the bases of my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cliff jumping.

I've hitchhiked all around Europe. Malta, France, UK, Poland, Hungary, Germany and Slovakia are some of the countries I've visited as a hitchhiker. This awesome way of travelling the world has given me the chance to meet the weirdest/coolest people ever, have some peculiar and unique stories to tell and see some of the most stunning sights of this continent.
