About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Awaiting new surprises that days are to bring:)

ABOUT ME

Well.. that's a taugh one.. I guess I try to get the most out of life with my beloved ones beside me, I can't live without my friends as well! I am both a pessimist and an optimist. I always laugh till I cry. I'm happily married to my best friend, soul mate and companion, Tim. We both love travelling and I've got a cunning plan to collect all possible bookguides describing all possible places and then to visit each one of them, hopefully meeting lovely couchsurfers who will make this dream an unforgettable journey.
*Right now we've started the most amazing of all the journeys yet- we've been blessed with a precious little baby boy and we're learning to be parents and enjoying every minute of it (even the sleepless nights..)

PHILOSOPHY

‘Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain

i have not failed. i’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. /T. A. Edison

it's always ok in the end. if it's not ok, it's not the end.
