PHILOSOPHY
If I could start over my life, I would make more mistakes in the new one.
Not trying to be perfect, I would just lie on my back.
I would be happy, more than I ever was in my first try,
There would be very few things that I would do seriously.
Cleanliness would never be a problem. I would take more risks.
I would travel more. I would watch the sunrise more often,
I would climb mountains and swim in rivers more often.
I would go see places I didn't see.
I would eat ice cream like crazy, and green beans much less.
I would have real troubles, instead of the imaginary ones.
I used to be striving for efficiency at every moment of my life.
If I could start over, I would only have happy moments.
Do you realize that this is what life is all about? Moments, only moments. Seize the moment. I used to go nowhere without water, umbrella and parachutes with me.
If I could start over, I would carry nothing. If I could start over,
I would throw away my shoes in the Spring and I would walk barefoot until the end of Fall. I would discover hidden paths, enjoy the sun, and play with the kids, if I had the chance. But I am 85 and I know...
I am dying...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to travel all over the world, and I like to meet new people, to get new friends. I am a friendly person so it is really easy for me to communicate with new people who I have just met. I don't prefer to go to 5stars hotels just for comfort, I prefer local hosts, sincere communication, good relationships, friendship, and less a comfort mattress bcs I'M NOT a TOURIST, I'M a TRAVELER.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
To decide to do my dream job!
I graduated from Music College as a pianist, I spend 12 years of my life for being a professional pianist. After that I decided to keep music as a hobby, and start to study International Relations when I graduated from the university, I realized that this is not me. I should do what I really love and enjoy it. I knew that designing something makes me happy all the time and never get bored or tired. So I start my design career now I am working as a UX/ UI Designer and love my job!!! Always improving myself and I believe in my self that I will rock this world one day!
