CURRENT MISSION

being amazed at what I see

ABOUT ME

It's difficult to figure out what I am, let alone write about it :) I guess I'm enthusiastic and kind, sometimes shy, sometimes not, trying to appreciate and understand what life shows me. Sometimes I worry too much about things that don't matter, trying to get rid of this habit.
I love to see the dawn after the whole night of talking or walking.
I love drinking coffee in a town I've never been to in the morning when I have a whole day ahead.
I love returning to the place where my friends are after the trip and knowing that they are happy to see me too.
I love nature, especially in the North.
I love singing. I can't say I'm very good at it, but I really enjoy it.

PHILOSOPHY

The Art of Loving, Erich Fromm.
Island, Huxley.
They write about my thoughts better than I do :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had absolutely amazing surfing experience. Different people, different cultures - every time was unique and precious. It's astonishing how kind and cordial people are everywhere! Unfortunately, I don't host much right now, because my roommate isn't very happy about this idea. But I hope to catch up as soon as I have a place of my own :)
