CURRENT MISSION

I am not a missioner

ABOUT ME

"Me" is a universe within this universe.
I believe it was Bertrand Russel who said that what can be expressed in the nutshell shall be left in the nutshell - I am still learning about me and it changes all the time - people I meet, places I visit change the things I previously knew about myself. Panta rhei!

PHILOSOPHY

impossible to avoid the cliches - greedy to live my life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Curiosity killed the cat.
