PHILOSOPHY

Your happiness depends on what you do for others, and your freedom depends on how much you know yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had wonderful experiences with Couchsurfing, and I can certainly say it changed the way I view the world. I've become more acecpting and open to new people and new experiences - every person in this world can teach you something.

Interests

Everything Human Rights related, academically or through activism - especially LGBT and gender issues. Also, everything related to language and words: I speak a few, and everything from translating, editing, reviewing to speaking, reading and writing is nothing but a pleasure.
