Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Discovering the world...beginning in the UK
ABOUT ME
I try to enjoy my life as much as I can with respect to other people, even if it's sometimes just about little things like the sunshine, a nice song or a friend's smile.
PHILOSOPHY
There is a certain ballance in the universe (and justice in the world) even if it doesn't seem to be that way quite often.
Smile and the smile will come back to you.
Making a mistake is not a failure but the best way how to learn.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I tried CS for the first time when I came to the UK to start a completely new chapter of my life...of course I didn't know that at the time ;o)) My CS friends I stayed with were the best I could imagine and it was a fantastic experience. Then I couchsurfed in Bristol and Bath..and it was amazing again! Now I am having a bit of a break from CS, staying in one place for a bit, but will CS again I hope!
Interests
I can't imagine life without music and movies but that's just the beginning! :o) A good book can't be missing on my bed table as well. I like sports like swimming, skiing, hiking etc, history, languages, nature. Last but certainly not least I like meeting new friends, not forgetting about the old ones though!
