About Me

ABOUT ME

Althought I take part in CS which is social web consisting on meeting people and making new acquaintances, I´m not a typical extrovert, even less an entertainer. Shy in a large group of people I prefer tete-a-tete meetings above a pint of fresh beer (or a glass of wine or whatever you want :-) ). I systematically avoid to frequent crowded and noisy places, so please don´t expect me to take you to the local disco. Sometimes full of energy, longing for adventure and travelling to remotes corners of our planet (preferably mountainous), sometimes idle, enjoying solitude and rest in company of some good book. I´m rather calm, even-tempered personne which hate all kind of conflicts or quarrels and try to keep (as far as possible) a positive way of thinking.

PHILOSOPHY

My ambition is try to do my best for I can be satisfied with the way I live, work I do, relationships I have. Don´t regret or be ashamed of anything I have done. Always look on the bright side of life :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a CS host and guest I love to meet interesting people of diverse nationalities, races and religion. It´s wonderful to know that in spite of differences which make our world so remarkably varied and colourful, we are all human beings with their own dreams, problems, joys and worries and we can get on well and become friends.
