I love to get to know new people. That's why I am here!
I am open-minded and interested in other peoples life-stories.

PHILOSOPHY

This poem from Hermann Hesse speaks right from my travelers' soul. Let's depart for new horizons!

Stages (Hermann Hesse)

As every flower fades and as all youth
Departs, so life at every stage,
So every virtue, so our grasp of truth,
Blooms in its day and may not last forever.
Since life may summon us at every age
Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor,
Be ready bravely and without remorse
To find new light that old ties cannot give.
In all beginnings dwells a magic force
For guarding us and helping us to live.

Serenely let us move to distant places
And let no sentiments of home detain us.
The Cosmic Spirit seeks not to restrain us
But lifts us stage by stage to wider spaces.
If we accept a home of our own making,
Familiar habit makes for indolence.
We must prepare for parting and leave-taking
Or else remain the slaves of permanence.

Even the hour of our death may send
Us speeding on to fresh and newer spaces,
And life may summon us to newer races.
So be it, heart: bid farewell without end.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Beautiful people! I've met incredible people thanks to CS, some of them are now good friends of mine, and for the other I just can say: so great to have met you, guys, I've learned so much by meeting you, even though sometimes it was for only a short time.
