About Me

I don't believe divination stuff but I think that personality of Taurus, which is my zodiac, describes my personality very well.

Tauruses are:
-Calm
-Stubborn
-Friendly

Every 3 months, I set 3 missions to accomplish. That makes me motivated. I knew that from one book.

24.Apr.2021
The current missions are to:
- Improve my Spanish to Level B2
- Knit sandals
- Memorize all forms of Wu style Taichi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
