About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am decided to find that out very soon... while traveling, But I have loads of plans - the next one is to be a mum :)

ABOUT ME

All about me might be too much. According to some people who know me well, I have a non-linear challenging personality. I am not sure if that's a compliment so I may disagree ;) Or not...

I guess, as everyone, I am trying to find the way to happiness. The more I walk, the clearer the answer seems to become - it lies in amazingly simple things. Like opening your bedroom windows on a sunny day, making a stranger smile when that's unexpected, having your favorite dress on while eating hazelnut and chocolate ice-cream, dancing with your best friends to corny music... So, as long as the path is full of moments like these, the walk is worth the effort.

PHILOSOPHY

I may be crazy but I still hope to find other similar souls out there :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am here to find this out more accurately.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, this experience was outside the official CouchSurfing but it has a similar spirit so here it goes. There was an American guy traveling around Europe on his camper and when going through Portugal I offered to show him around town and in that occasion he saved my life and made me get home safe and sound. In appreciation for his gesture (since he only met me for a few hours) I let him stay in my house for one week. We had some interesting conversations and he partially changed my perspective on life. And there was no romantic connection in this story at all - just a very interesting exchange of experiences.

Interests

Art, urban culture, concerts, exhibitions, dancing, turning something old into new, the sun, dark chocolate, the stars, bread, new hairdos, writing and probably much more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie music (check what I listen to here http://www.last.fm/user/korsa6), indie movies that make me think and/or cry, books about existentialism... but open to everything which tries to see life in a different perspective.
As this really depends on the phase and mood, the last movie I watched which made me cry was 'Max and Mary' and the last book I liked was 'One, No one and One Hundred Thousand'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe not one major thing but several things - changing someone's career, changing someone's country, making someone go back to college, changing someone's perspective on life, giving someone their best present ever... anything that makes me believe that I helped changing someone else's life for something better.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to redecorate and rearrange houses/rooms with a modest budget :) I have performed some small miracles!
