ABOUT ME

They say that I'm genuine, that's what I also appreciate in other people. In couchsurfing it's hospitality that comes from the heart, not fancy frames. Also as a host I want to spend time and get to know the people who stay at my place and not just be a hotel, that's why I don't have many guests monthly.

PHILOSOPHY

Empirical sceptism, avoiding too much defining myself through any ideology

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing in Chile, New York, Japan and Russia. Especially the last one has been exciting, since I picked up hosts who talked Russian with me. After that there's no return to fluent English, since what could be better way to train your language skills? Beside have met local people and participated to events when travelling.

Hosting has been equally good experience, hopefully will get apartment in the future that allowes me to continue doing that (now homeless for 2-6 weeks).
