CURRENT MISSION

Just do it!

ABOUT ME

Playing volleyball, singing in a choir, learning languages, reading, cooking, project management, smiling, meeting for coffee, walking aimlessly, taking photos, editting photos, sharing photos, getting to know (anything), drinking green tea, discussing, biting my nails, dancing to Michael Jackson, singing with the Blues Brothers, thinking (too much), doing lots of things only because I want to!!!

PHILOSOPHY

"Love the life you live, live the life you love"

"Everything you need is already inside"

"Life's not a restaurant but a buffet - get up and serve yourself!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Six weeks of hitch-hiking through the Balkans to Istanbul and back. Weeks full of great adventures, amazing people and beautiful places :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that the best knowledge about the World which we can get, we get by travelling.
So I can teach what I've learned, learn what you have to teach me, and share what I have experienced :)
