About Me

Please read my profile + room description!

Guys, please don't send copy paste requests especially if you have no references. If you do so don't expect me to answer. Lately I get few requests every day.

As both me and my wife work full time also DON'T REQUEST TO ENTERTAIN YOU/ SHOW YOU AROUND. I might not have time for that.

ABOUT ME
Math geek focusing on the details. Used to work in financial and pharma sectors for several years. For now I am based in Singapure and work as Business Analyst/Data Scientist in one of the biggest Fashion brands in Asia.

I practice Iyengar yoga since 2014 (spend 5 months in India learning from multiple senior teachers). Now I try to practice 3 or more times a week. After work besides yoga I like going for walks, riding motorbikes, hiking, playing chess, and cooking. My wife is Montessori specialist focusing for now mainly on 1.5-3yo and 3-6yo,

I don't know the meaning of words "it won't work out", "we can't do it", "it's impossible", "i think i have eaten too much".

I think I'm a pretty balanced, modern person with flexible thoughts & lifestyle ;) , I can get passionate about Psychology, Red Wine, Mountains, Oh, travel and meeting new people from different cultures. What......? You too.......? Such a co-incidence on this website! We just have to meet up soon!

Biggest dream: To ride on a horse across Mongolia.

PHILOSOPHY
Traveling is the best life school you can attend.

non harming others

optimism

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS in 2012 when I started traveling extensively, lately my roommate situation allowed me to host people.

Being a tourist with a city map in hands, tour guide with a flag, following a bunch of retirees who take pictures of every corner has never appeared tempting to me. When I go places, I like to truly be a part of everything related to it, to get the most out of every new city area, or region, to know as much as possible about local life, culture, people - like a local. I believe that CS allows you to meet new people and experience traveling from a totally new perspective.

CS is a huge community full of like-minded people who have a desire to connect with each other. It makes me really happy to be a part of this project and share my stories with fellow travelers and hosts around the world, as well as allow them to enrich my life and become an invaluable part of it.

We are really interested in learning more about social media, ads, website management and anything that might be useful for that matter.
