About Me

ABOUT ME

People say I smile a lot, and my 2012 new year resolution is to smile even more, especially on Monday! :D

My principles in life are to be true to myself and to give people a second chance.

PHILOSOPHY

Happy Life: To live with purpose, to say the courageous thing, to celebrate the simple gift, to follow your dreams, this is a happy life.
Wayland Henry

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Attend CS meetings and join CS trips whenever possible, meet up people in town for a show or coffee, host people when I have time and surf when I'm on the road :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

- Went to the most random monopoly game in zone 4 of London and met 2 awesome people who've since become such good friends that they actually significantly improved the quality of my life.- Celebrated the new year of 2012 on the Austrian Alps with CS friends I'd never met before who turned out to be the kindest, most intellectual and most fun people I've met in my entire life. That was the best new year I've ever had, all thanks to CS.- Visited Einstein's and Mozart's birth place completely by chance, just by following other awesome CSers.- In short, CS has shown me the world better than I'd ever see on my own. The day I knew about CS was the turning point of my life.- Looking forward to adding even more awesome CS experiences here over time...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

CS is the most amazing thing I've seen in my life. Complete strangers welcoming me into their homes and caring about me like they've been my friends for ages - what's more amazing that that?
