ATTENTION:

-I prefer to host in weekends fri-mon (I work during weekdays/ you can always ask but chances are higher that I will host you during weekends)

PHILOSOPHY

*Don't worry, be happy / Hakuna matata
*Carpe diem
*Learn to fail or fail to learn
*Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
*My religion is kindness
*To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.
