ABOUT ME

Hey guys, my name is Arief and I used to study medicine in Olomouc, Czech Republic.
I currently live in Prague and work as a food courier.
A few years ago, I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and if it wasn't for my friends who took me to the hospital, I would not be here today. I am so grateful to be alive.
Because of that, I am trying to live my life fully from now on.
I'm looking to make friends, surf and host people, and meet amazing people through this website :-)

PHILOSOPHY

"You are responsible for your own life."

Oprah Winfrey has been the most influential person in my life. Some of her advices have been life-changing. Because of her, I came out to my family back in 2012.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I enjoy meeting different kinds of people. I don't think we need to have similar interests to get to know each other. As long as one is open-minded and is willing to listen to others people's passion and interests, you can be friends with anybody..
