About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spread the love! Ride the wave! Dream the day away and go with the flow...

ABOUT ME

I'm rather impulsive and happy-go-lucky.

I enjoy new things and resent repetition.

I'm creative, adaptive and generous.

These are things I'm proud of...

People have made me realize I can be rather egocentric and unrealistic as well. Also I care too little sometimes.

These are things I'm working on...

PHILOSOPHY

I impose nothing to nobody, and expect the same from everybody else.

I seize the day and dream about tomorrow.

I'm too weird to live and too rare to die.

I just wanna enjoy before it ends and convince others to do the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the future, I would like to do more citytrips while spending less. Also, I like to meet new people to exchange ideas and make plans with. I believe i can learn from every person i talk to.

I got the tip from a friend, and was immediately convinced this was a cool way to explore.

In return for future hospitality, I will gladly have guests at my place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Looking above the clouds on top of a mountain (the Matterhorn in Switzerland i think it was) was pretty amazing. Diving in the Persian Sea was beautiful too. I like to feel awe for this world and what's in it, but I don't know when it's gonna happen. Small things can do that to me too.
