PHILOSOPHY
Who and where we are now is a direct result of the descisions we made in the past.
Who and where we are going will be a result of descisions we make now.
I live my life for today with a bit of planning for the future.
Health and love is first on my lists, Work is so far down that it fell off.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
