About Me

CURRENT MISSION

CS did it yet again. Another mission complete. Now it's to do my job well and find a place to "settle" (not really, but a place to make my home between travels ;)

ABOUT ME

I had a pretty crazy life and that didn't help my already crazy nature.
I love music - mainly heavier stuff but I enjoy classical a lot. I sing and I used to play the violin for a few years. I enjoy learning foreign languages and try them out with people :) I grew to like order, peace and quiet - but I enjoy doing unusual things and meeting unusual people. I believe in freedom of choice and freedom of thought though, happy to share the joy of living with God with those who are interested and eager to listen. I had a wonderful chance to go to Finland on a Comenius Project founded by the EU in 2008. It was a lesson I will always remember and cherish. It ignited my love for travelling which has consumed my thoughts and dreams for future.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for people. Even my "perfect" career is that for people, I think, rather than for the actual language itself and for sure not the money. Since God loved the people so much, to be more and more like Him I need to do the same thing :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted once and I loved it! :) I also visited a CS friend in Liverpool - a whole new level of travel, when you actually get to spend some time with a local, even if not a native of the place! I was also a pampered guest of a German CS host. It just gets better each time! Waiting for more opportunities :)

Interests

music, languages, religion, psychology, watching opera, movies (a hard to distinguish taste, but I think it is pretty cheap ;)
