Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Once I realized that all is well in all of Creation.
Since then I've stopped wanting the world to meet my expectations.
Since then beauty is always in my eye.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Through other people we can get to know ourselves.
Every person I meet on my way is a gemstone, and I see my own reflection in its sparkle.

Interests

I'm attracted to all kinds of sensual experiences, everything that makes the soul tremble. Visual, auditory, kinesthetic. That's why I'm keen on fine arts, music, body practices.
I'm convinced that theater is one of the most powerful ways of expressing beauty of the human. The union of act, song and body is the quintessence of eternal presence.
I love Nature.
Nature lures me into its depths so I can feel the ultimate relaxation.
Nature gifts me with a perfect space where I can discover true silence.
Nature shows me the most sublime beauty so I can remember my own.
