About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life on this planet

ABOUT ME

I love sunshine. Sunrise is enough to make me happy at the beginning of a day.
May is my favorite month and, yes, I really hate fall.
I wanna see the world - a travel for me is not going to a hotel (which offers your favorite dishes and tv channels), is not about resting and visiting some attractions. For me a travel is more than changing the location , is changing the perspectives , a travel is about growing, it is not only resting and eating but making the effort to understand something new

Of course, I do not know how to write "all about me", I tried to write just "about me being here on this site"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I know about this site from some time ago and I think the idea is brilliant. The problem is that I don't like to fill in virtual profiles (I'm not the type with profiles on facebook, I hate to write my cv and cover letters, I don't have a blog..) Anyway, at this moment it happens that I have more free time so.. I'm just giving a try, I'm sure it will deserve the effort

Teach, Learn, Share

this is a part that ... hm.. triggered some serious reflection. I even worked as a teacher for several years, I tought math and programming - but this is not so much of an offer I'm afraid (even if I add physics or biology). What else would I be able to teach those around ? Good question.. "I am able to share my experiences, what I know about my town and my people.. or maybe about other places .." would this benefit anybody?

The part about learning is easier ...
I would like to learn oneday to make professional photos. It would be good to learn more foreign languages. Or even to exercise biking !? One of the most serious lessons I have to learn is to overcome my own weeknesses (or to live with them) and people around are usually of great help.
