CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to experience new things and learn something new every day, whatever that might be.

ABOUT ME

To me, the most interesting thing in life is meeting people and sharing experiences with them; hearing their perspective and allowing this to influence your own. On top of this, meeting people from different backgrounds and from places far away from your home enhances your knowledge of the world. Therefore, I am joining Couchsurfing today in order to put off writing an essay as well as to follow the advice of some good friends I have recently met who have given me the opportunity to see new things and experience a new way of travel and who know how to have a good time!

PHILOSOPHY

I am a vegetarian and although this is important to me it is not something I need to talk about. Obviously I think it is the best way and would love my friends to join me in this lifestyle choice.... it is also a personal decision. I'd much rather someone be a meat-eater and accept that they are eating an animal, rather than be a meat-eater who becomes squemish at the smallest sight of blood. Also fair enough if you chose to eat organic meat at all times-at least you have thought it through. Other than that, I'd say I'm pretty relaxed and easy-going. I think it is pretty important to be genuine and I like to think that I am. O and the cup is half full, not half empty.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can be a giver of random information and ideas:
It takes 5 compliments to balance out a criticism so be nice, friends!
I've got a lot to learn, but it is never too late!
