About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. 'Memento Mori'

ABOUT ME

I am a little runaway.
I hate Goodbyes but I love Hellos.. being a nomad girl who seems to find a way to just keep on going like a never ending story.
Living a dream life far away from places which are too serious and require responsibility.. hoping to never wake up.

PHILOSOPHY

Life of course is full of Ups and Downs.
I certainly believe that there is a reason for absolutely everything- every challenge and every achievement.
Living my life the way I do, without restrictions (but visas) and regret, makes me feel free and simply happy.
People say 'No' to themselves too much. I prefer saying 'Yes' I can do that if that is what my heart desires.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I guess I just became a member. I always knew about CS but I thought because I was never able to 'Host' I was not sure about joining for a long time.
Now I am hoping to get involved as a surfer, soon as a host and maybe later as a volunteer in my town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Australia there was a couple of times where I just felt lost and lonely and people, you work with or only know briefly, would offer you their couch and a tea and an ear. That was simply amazing.
Heartwarming experiences like that makes you believe in people and give back as much as you can.

Interests

First of all..I wish I could sing.
'making your own'- clothes, jewelry,any vegetarian food, veggie gardens, instruments.. I love learning new things especially if they are practical and beautiful also.
Finding any kind of treasures.
Reading about history and peoples life- love biographies.
Trying out new sports is fun too. ever heard about frolfing?

Music, Movies, and Books

Into The Wild is one of my absolute favorites.
Shantaram (I just read recently), The Alchemist, The Power Of One, Memoirs Of a Geisha (reading it at the moment) and Scar Tissue.
Music Artists would be an endless list.. there is something different for all the different situations and emotions we go through.
