About Me

CURRENT MISSION

further up, further in

ABOUT ME

I am a rooster illusion. Seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to learn as much about the world we're living in as possible. Talk to people and try to understand how different each and every one of them is - every person is like a world of its own. You can actually travel just through talking to people. Be nice to people and be kind to them (if possible). Travel the world ;-)

Besides that - I think world is a great place to be, I enjoy it and try to be optimistic and happy. Mostly it's all about compromises.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
