About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spray out my enthusiasm and to inspire people around me (payback for what I got)

ABOUT ME

If someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you're not sure you can do it, say YES - then learn how to do it later!

When I was young my teacher asked me about what I will be later and I answered - I wish I would be happy.
Then he was sorry to ask me again cuz according to him I hadn't understood the question - I said that he didn't understand the life...

Curious, Adventurous and Hard-worker are three adjectives which describe me the best.

PHILOSOPHY

I look up -> http://blog.petflow.com/this-is-a-video-everyone-needs-to-see-for-the-first-time-in-my-life-im-speechless/

Impossible is not in my dictionary, even in my native language ;)
We just need time to reach our targets.

Live your life as if it was your last day .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

*** I'm sharing my shelter as much as I can. To increase your chance to be hosted, show me that you are unique in your message ***

I host, I surf, I ask, I help, I meet, I travel, I stay, I move around and I live the life like a joke :)

The most important is to never ever give up! Dream big. Do big things.

Couchsurfing is not only about Hosting people or Couchsurf' people place, it's a way to live life, it's a whole community ! I try to introduce Couchsurfing all around my entourage as much as i can...

I'm going to do my best to keep the "CouchSurfing Attitude" safe, trustable and alive...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Slept in a hammock with a breathtaking view over the Caribbean Sea in Costa Rica.

Helped to work in a farm where we were hosted for a weekend in Tacoma (US).

Danced the salsa in Vancouver with my surfers.

Had some incredible house parties with some couchsurfers around the world.

My parents have hosted 2 chicks in Switzerland and had a Swiss raclette dinner. Then 3 weeks after, my parents came to visit me in Vancouver where these 2 lovely girls invited us for a Japanese dinner made by their parents. Life is a joke :)

Interests

Exploring the wilderness, hitchhiking road trips, playing badminton, watching tennis, mushroom picking, fishing and photography are how I spend my spare time to charging my personal batteries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Danced with dolphins in Bahamas.

Arrested by Moutawa's in Saudi Arabia because of my bling-bling earrings.

Dived with the great white shark in Cape Town.

Did a walk safari with rhinos in Swaziland.

Hiked the Stairway to heaven in Oahu.

Enjoyed a F1 after party in Barhain with a Prince and Timbaland.

Looked during two weeks to find the poor owner who lost its mobile into a bus in Vancouver and so on. It was a Chinese grandma of 78 years old :)
