About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the amazing natural beauties of this World.

Im a relaxed, optimistic person and I try to enjoy every minute of my life. I think I'm also reliable and I really love to listen what people say, sometimes more than talking myself.
I like talking with interesting people, that have different views on life, have tried exciting things and have a lot of ideas so I can learn new things from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until end of January I am living in Reykjavik and volunteering in a social service organizaton.
I'd like to meet people that are travelling in Iceland to have some nice time together and maybe explore some nice places around Reykjavik / Iceland.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Till now- only good and iteresting ones.
All couchsurfers I've met were interesting persons, really kind and open minded. Full of stories with passion for life.
That's why I like couchsurfing, it's the besst way to discover the country, the culture and meet new people who live there...

Interests

I'd say my interest is, first of all, to make myself and people around me happy. I am happy when I can relax from everyday life, like lisetnig music, going out, talking with friends, doing sports in nature, learning and practising new languages with new friends from another county. Travels are my way of searching the missing pieces of happiness I can't find at home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Incubus, Alanis Morisette, Kings of Leon and that stuff. Actually I am not to picky when it comes to music, it just must fit to my feelings I have at the moment...

Books- well I like to read a lot, sometimes more sometimes less serious books, but I think the books I appreciate most are those from the real artists and writers- like Kafka, Camus,Dostojevski... (those we've had to read in high school but they didn't have any special meaning to us in those days :).
One of the most impressive books I've read these days was a young adult novel from Jenny Downham and it's called Before I die.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many smaller ones, but I think that the most of really amazing things are yet to come :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to chat with people that've seen and done many interesting things and really know how to "think outside the box..."
