About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make sure not to forget to breath

ABOUT ME

I studied Architecture, have traveled a lot and will eventually stop when I die.
I'm the person how rather listen than speaking. I still don't know what I want to do for live and looking for my way of telling my story.

PHILOSOPHY

When the going gets tough the tough gets going
After war their is no one right, just a few left.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To meet people that belief in similar experience. To travel and meet the locals of foreign country and also be the help for other travelers where ever I'm living.

Interests

I love the feeling of being a tourist. Not just being a tourist overseas and in a foreign country, but being a tourist in my own country. Doing things and seeing it differently. The excitement of not to knowing what to expect is what makes me feel alive.
