About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a happier place

ABOUT ME

I teach English, which allows me to slowly move around and see the world. I like the idea of hosting travelers - I am not the most exciting of people, but I will do my best to help you see the best of this city.

PHILOSOPHY

How do you live your life? I think it was the second Rambo movie where he responded to this question with "One day at a time." But that's a pretty silly answer. I guess my philosophy is this: You have one life to live - you should live it so as to make it a unique thing of beauty, so that when it is over, people would look at it and say "Now THAT was well-done."
Here are a couple of quotes that might sum it up: “"Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough."
"In the time of your life, live so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it." -- William Saroyan.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and meeting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some awesome people through CS.  They shared not only their homes, but also their friendship - it may sound corny, but it's true - you can really meet some quality people via couch surfing.

Interests

Sadly, I am a bit of a lazy bump on the sofa.  But I manage to read a lot of books, work out, study and teach krav maga, and make lots of plans that go unfulfilled!
