About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find out what I want from live... What do I do next? Where do I go?

ABOUT ME

Open, mainly happy, colorful, can´t be in one place for too long, need little adventures all the time.
Still - I am not this kind of person who likes to travel around the whole world, staying in every country for 3 days or less. I love to experience the whole thing, the inside, not just the outside. Slowly. Staying for a few months in a country and FEEL what ever feeling there is. I have my whole lifetime, so why to hurry up and stress? ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I live for experiences. Sometimes they are good, sometimes they are bad. I don´t like bad experiences but they help you to learn appreciating the good ones. Often I can´t find out what I want from life but I find out what I don´t want. That`s better then nothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed in some places and I hosted people in my little room! It was good :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was using couchsurfing in different countries and it was mainly wonderful! Otherwise I found out it can be a bit tricky to find a couch when someone is new here and has no references...

Interests

My biggest hobby is music, I play the flute, a bit of guitar and a bit of piano. Making music with other people is the best. I like doing things I haven´t done before, doesn´t matter what it is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving on the motorbike in the Philippines with my last boyfriend... little mountain roads, no tourists, beautiful rice fields below, a man who walks with his fat pig, talking to women in the street or in a little shop, getting violet petrol in coca cola bottles filled in our motorbike, standing or driving on a broken hanging bridge and under us the river... awesome.

A beautiful rainbow in the wetlands in Estonia. First there was a full one with beautiful, clear colors, then there was another full one under it!

All the moments when you have no money, no home and you are standing in the rain... and then someone comes, talks to you, invites you for a dinner or lets you stay in his or her home for a night. This moments are just unforgettable and I am so thankful.
