I become grumpy every time I'm hungry. When I'm lost in my thoughts, I just stare off into space with eyes wide open. My feet stink terribly after a day wearing shoes. I often cross my big toe over the second one. I never sleep facing the wall. I take a shit religiously every day. I'm only able to wake up with coffee and normally I have to use the toilet after that. I like pubic hair. I pick my nose in public. Life is constant change. I don't recognize myself in those words anymore.

PHILOSOPHY (for Dummies)

Whatever works...

Shit happens, get over it.

In a sea of impossibilities there is always a drifting boat full of possibilities. (probably my most profound quote - don't steal it)

Don't look ahead. Don't look back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I still didn't give up.

Interests

Reading, cooking, hiking, camping, low budget traveling, sitting with friends, philosophy, drama movies, chilling music, theater, permaculture, ecovillages, autonomous communities, freedom, human behavior, sunrises and sunsets, beaches, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, biking, languages, naturism, nudism.

Actually I think it's important not only to say what my interests are but also the things I'm NOT INTERESTED in:
watching tv, sightseeing in the city, fancy bars/restaurants, clubs, museums, monuments, churches, hippie markets, shopping centers, pointless conversations about nationalities, professions, politics, family and/or religion.
