About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn english, make friends and study.

ABOUT ME

Trying to see myself from the outside,
I think I am a gentle and tolerant person. I am rather sincere and bad at pretending.
All my friends know that they can deposit their trust on me.
i am a little bit shy, but it changes by the time, when I feel more comfortable with the people around me.
I really like languages, thats why i am learning english.
Despite the fact my memory is not as good as i would like it to be, in the future i would like to try with german, and maybe after that with italian and French, not sure.
But Overall I am just an ordinary person who loves travelling and meeting new people. In my opinion is the best way to grow up as a person :)

PHILOSOPHY

One thing that i have learned is concentrating all my efforts on figuring out how to continue, NEVER GIVE UP even when you think that whatever you do is not worth it. because it is not true. i believe that everyone can take the control of his/her own life. sometimes we feel scared, or insecure about obtain the wished result, thats why we loose the control. NEVER SAY NEVER, just TRY TO DO IT but believing in it, doing your best attempt. after that, TAKE IT EASY, and what is more important TAKE IT AS IT COMES. because you have already done all as you could.

Do not worry before of knowing the result. live without worring about problems that might show up in your life because they cannot be prevented.
ALL that HAPPENS in our life, is in order to make us stronger, and even from the worst experience, you can get something positive. so in my opinion LIFE IS THE BEST SCHOOL, you can find.
Enjoy your TIME as much as you can because ONCE LOST, it CAN NOT be RECOVERED . therefore do not waste your time crying for someone unworthy .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host whenever I can. And in a nearest future i would like to do some trips, but to me some places are difficult to visit because i have a disease which involves that i can not eat all types of food, i am coeliac.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since I know about couchsurfing I have hosted two nice person,from two diferent places, and i really enjoyed the experience.

Interests

Sometimes i think that i am an old mind trapped in a young body, i prefer relaxed plans like spending time at home watching films, or if the weather lets me i rather go out for a walk or spend time with my friends.
Have something to eat with them (somewhere where you can talk to them). watch some films together at their places or at the cinema, go to the swimming pool...
what i like the most is doing some nature activities, like camping, hiking or simply doing some tourism with my people :)
I prefer all the above, instead of going out to discos.

I also enjoy reading books, cooking, having a good conversation, travel, photography (normally i prefer black and white pictures). Art in general, theatre. All types of animals unless they are venomous, all places with lakes, and nice views. And of course Chocolate and ice-cream :)

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES: shutter island, spy game, Das experiment (german), John Q, Black jack, untouchable (French), orphan... these are some films that I consider good ones. But i can watch anything really.

MUSIC: i love listening to music. I enjoy all types, of course I have my preferences, but provided that it is a good song, it really doesn´t matter which kind of music, (classical, old rock, heavy metal... :) sometimes i even listen to music in languages that i do not know (like korean or russian)
lately, i have listened much music from "la pegatina", normally the music is happy. so when someone feel little bit depressed, in my opinion this music is ideal.

BOOKS: invisible man (George Elliot) , Gulliver travel (Jonathan Swift) , Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Mark Twain),
All Jean M Auel collection: (The Clan of the Cave Bear, The Valley of Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, The Plains of Passage, The Shelters of Stone, The Land of Painted Caves).
All Harry Potter collection. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien...
