CURRENT MISSION

Live, learn and enjoy! Have the courage to step outside my comfort zone :) Finding new things, new people and new experiences and just embracing the moments!

ABOUT ME

"Peace in my heart, peace in my soul. Wherever I'm going, I'm already home."

Important things in my life: my lovely friends, peace, meditation, yoga, sports, long walks outside, music, festivals, food, wine, conversations, movies, travelling, thinking, dreaming, having new experiences & finding new places, walking around and exploring the world and people in it! And least but not last, love :)

I'm easygoing, curious and cheery person, at least most of the times ;) haha!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a wonderful opportunity to meet new people from different countries and get to know different cultures better :)

Most of all meeting new people that you might not meet otherwise --- I think it is the best about this.

Interests

I'm interested in many things and find usually a bit weird things interesting. I can be amazed the life of pigeons as easily as the world situations and happenings. Life itself is very interesting and I'm always surprised how life is full of extraordinary things when you just keep your eyes open.
I'm eager to hear stories and learn a lot of new things and stuff!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like finding new music! I like all kind of music, depending on the moments and my mood.

I'm also a big fan of movies and like watching them, all genres, and talk about them later on. I love going to cinema.

Books are a great way of getting new ideas or just escaping the reality once in a while. I like reading about life philosophies, for example Anthony De Mellos Awareness opened my mind and made me think things and life from a new perspective. I also enjoy reading fiction and fantasy :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meditated in a Zen Buddhist temple in Japan with a Buddhist priest guiding me through the meditation. Afterwards chatting about the experience with a cup of traditional green tea. It was amazing and awakening experience.

Learned Japanese while living in Japan in 2011, the language is so fascinating. Too bad you forget it when not using it in your everyday life.

Moved to England and volunteered one year for the British Red Cross, definitely one of the best years in my life so far. I'm so happy that I had the courage to leave quite secure life behind and jump in to volunteering!

Did a Red Cross challenge and trekked up to the highest mountain, Snowdon, in North Wales. It was an amazing day and I enjoyed it a lot!

Well here are more than one thing that I think have been amazing moments or things that I've done in my life. They are not the only ones, there are lot of great things, small and big, that I consider amazing :)

I'm sure we will discover something new, learn something new and teach each other something new when we meet!
