We all tend to be a little bit subjective towards ourselves)dont we? In a nutshell: I am a (Central) Eastern European girl, who is fond of languages and modern, contemporary history (mainly Central Eastern European-including the Balkans). According to my family and close friends, i am a little bit naive with people and life situations that surround me. I think that the secret of success lies in reaching the state of happiness, not when it comes to exploring well known destinations, nor in the numbers of countries one visits, but, during the grey , shady weekdays- whoever succeeds in this, has win the jackpot:)

PHILOSOPHY

"The ultimate authority must always rest with the individuals own reason and critical analysis" Dalai Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf couches, meet people and gain cross cultural competencies or experiences. I try to understand life views/perspectives and network. Without wanting to use too many cliches I really think one can learn and grow through meeting new people and with a wee bit of empathy and some inner inducement we can all get to the best "level" of ourselves, and of course with a lot of inner work
