CURRENT MISSION

having a smile on my face :)

ABOUT ME

isn't it so hard to describe yourself.. well; Let's do it ;)
I am an ordinary student and, just 3 years ago, i had a new dream to travel different countries; but with a little difference; people generally buy souvenirs when they visit a new place, but i want to have "friends" in that places.. I mean, i want to bring their "friendship" in my heart as a souvenir ;)

the things above was true until the summer of 2012 :)
'cuz I finished study (to be honest nowadays I would like to continue ;) ) and became an engineer (hell yeahhhhh) but I still have my dream ;)

the things above was true until summer of 2013 :)
'cuz now I am both a student and an enginner, I'm going on studying on Computer science and working for a company, and as you are reading that lines my dreams are still valid :)

the things above was true until spring of 2014 :)
I am still an enginner and also a graduate student, even if it was 8 weeks ago last time I went to school :) nowadays, I have a dream: "six pack" :)

PHILOSOPHY

as i said above, I would like to have "happy" friends from different countries :) to achieve this goal, i generally try to smile all the time, and be an optimistic person :) --one my favourite motto;"One day your life will end, and all that will remain are the moments when you've lived your life to the fullest. And if you're lucky, those moments live on in the lives of the people you have touched."(from the movie "The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam")

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

*My first meeting was ( with Ada ) at Krakow,Poland :)
it was too short meeting, (less than 2 hours) but as a start, it was really nice meeting..
*Then my second meeting was with Beata and Magdalena at Warsaw,Poland.. It is quite longer than the first one, we spend more than 10 hours.. and I totally had fun during that time :)
*Then, I had a meeting with an Arab boy (:D) in Istanbul.. It was great evening that he sang a Turkish song on a stage :)
*Then my friend and I were in a EuroTrip and we had many experiences in Wien, Brno, Bieslko Biala(Poland), Lodz(Poland), Eindhoven, Brussels, Basel.. Different people, different stories :) It was amazing!!!

Nowadays instead of surfing, I try to attend CS meetings, ('cuz of work) if you dont have any xperience, do it(!!) believe me you will meet veryyy interesting people ;)
