CURRENT MISSION

To explore and experience to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

I don't want to waste any minute. There are so many places I'd like to visit, so many people that are worth meeting. So whenever I can I take my camera and a small backpack and 'of we go!'.
The more time I have the further I go. I like travelling alone as well as with friends. My camera is the only necessary fellow rider.

''Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.'
'Ulysses' Alfred Lord Tennyson

PHILOSOPHY

'I cannot rest from travel: I will drink
Life to the lees: all times I have enjoyed
Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone; on shore, and when
Through scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vext the dim sea: I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known; cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honoured of them all;
And drunk delight of battle with my peers;
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
As though to breath were life. Life piled on life
Were all to little, and of one to me
Little remains: but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.'
'Ulysses' Alfred Lord Tennyson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It was a great experience to host people in Armenia. The conditions were not very good but that's a part of life there. Also in Romania I hosted people which helped me not to feel lonely. Thanks to couch surfing I met a lot of great people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing place in the world I've been to was Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. I felt so small facing the great and breathtaking nature. And the emptiness...
