About Me

CURRENT MISSION

don't panic!

PHILOSOPHY

- love the universe, it's all one
- meat is murder
- don't panic!
Do what you feel like, contribute to the well-being of the world, follow the flow and everything will be ok, and if not, worrying doesn't help. Failure also means new possibilities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met several couch-surfers throughout my travels, among friends, got interested and checked it out =). I have hosted a few people, and I have also surfed a couple of times during my Imterrail trip in Europe in summer 2011 and in for example India. CS is awesome!
