About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn French, explore Yoga, meet amazing People, travel the World...and trying to choose only one mission at a time...

ABOUT ME

I´m currently living in Belgium, but as my life has previously shown me, I´m trying always to move forward, wherever that is, so today I´m here, writing all this, tomorrow, well, know knows.

"If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." (Lewis Carroll)

PHILOSOPHY

The more I grow, the less I know...
Impermanence. Nothing lasts. Everything changes. Just like the seasons. It´s Beautiful!

"The mind is everything. What you think you become.” - Gautama Siddharta

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

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have surfed just a few very nice couches through CS so far

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Signed up to find an emergency couch to surf on, found myself pleasantly surprised and got infected with the bug to surf more couches in hopes of one day having a couch to offer in return.

Interests

The list would be fairly long, every other day I find something that interest me. The trouble is that there is only 24 hours in a day...

Yoga, Tai Chi, Asia, traveling, music, nature, volleyball, badminton, foreign languages, books, positivity, psychology, holistic approach to life and living, learning every day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived inside another person for 9 months ;)

I´ve seen people with nothing in their hands, but with happiness and kindness in their eyes and I have seen a multimillionaire with everything in his hands, but nothing (but pain and sorrow) in his eyes...

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you Estonian, which has been accused of being something simply impossible to learn with its 14 noun cases and the unique letter "õ" which makes the facial expressions of the speaker nothing but hilarious to look at :)

I have a guitar, so if you know how to play it, you could teach me :)

Share: thoughts, dreams, views, more dreams, knowledge, life...
