ABOUT ME
It is difficult for me to introduce myself shortly and with words. I will try writing to give some clues about me.I am open minded ,eager to learn and experience new things , day dreamer and also coming to earth easily .I embrace the facts of life and also my part of living in cloud cuckoo land . I am flexible and like spontaneity and all forms of improvisations such as dance /movement,singing ,theatre , making up stories ,playing games..
I would like to have deep conversations as well as the gibberish (you are making up unmeaning words and speaking in a nonsense way) I like playfullness and joyful actions.I enjoy spending time by myself also I enjoy people’s company I am both loner and a social butterfly It depends my mood ,conditions and situations. I can be a calm monk and a bright and breezy clown ,shape shifting can be my super power :P you can see different reflections of me from my instagram page
IG: Arginkubin
. I have not had a chance to use CS that much as a surfer .This upcoming trips I will experience it I am excited to reconnect this CS spirit again during my journey.
Nowadays I am dealing with building my new life in another country step by step so because of my personal agenda and life/home conditions I can not host anybody for some time .I hope I will use CS more active both as s surfer and a host in the future.

PHILOSOPHY
Florebo quocumque ferar(I will flourish wherever I go)
if there is a will ,there is a way..
Turn your wounds into the wisdom..
Dance ,dance otherwise we are lost
