About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find out what this is about.

ABOUT ME

I am Manka.
I am very spontaneous. I do not really plan things. I just do.
I'm a mother of a 6 year old girl, and I just got divorced so life just begun again.
I came here 2 years ago, and life has been a roller coaster since.

PHILOSOPHY

To be kind to other people. Kindness can change the world. To spread it is an important thing.

I don't have all the answers maybe a stranger can help me find some of them. And even if I don't agree with a person, his truth is maybe closer to the truth than mine. Never forget that.

Listen to people, they can teach you things, that you had no idea about.
Be open minded. The stranger who just looked at you, maybe is the onewho will change your life in the way you never thought possible.

Do things that I am frighten of. Brake my personal boundaries. If I do so, I will see that the thing I were afraid of, wasn't so frightening . Be afraid is just a boundary for myself.
I try to have as much fun as I can. The life is hard enough, I don't have to put more weight on my shoulders.

I find a smile from a stranger when I take a walk, a hug from a friend, a friendly word from a person you don't know to be fantastic.

In try in my way to change the world to be a better place.
I guess that we should do that, try to get the world to become a better place. people shouldn't be afraid of the world. Because there are so many beautiful people and places out there, that you will miss, if you are afraid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
to be honest, I've been out of this loop for years, I used to host people, go on meeting etc. Now, I'm just reactivated.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only positive things to say.

Interests

Write, write and then write. That is my biggest interest.
Read.
To meet people. share experience with them.
Laugh,
Sleep.
Wait, did I mention that I like to write?
Movies. Okey, I would love to say that I make movies. And that is why movies is my interest. Sadly but true, that is not the reason. I just like so watch them.
Music, (Can't stand it when it's totally quiet.) Here it's true (but not sadly) that I don't make music. I listen, and sometimes I pick my clarinet up and play for a while.
Traveling, even though I haven't done it so much..

Im quite sure I like more thing, but nothing pops up in my head.
Oh I like the sound that the cold snow maked, when you walk on it.
