About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Changing. I change. You change. Everyone changes. We are not the same person, who we were yesterday, but we can choose which way we change.

ABOUT ME

There are some facts, what you need know:

I laugh loudly.
I'm full of energy.
I talk a lot.
I know a lot of people - read: social whore (:
And I'm just human, like you.

PHILOSOPHY

"Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.

An you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.

And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a lot people, mostly thanks to my flatmate, who was very active in CS. But at the same time I have met so many different people, who have been always so intresting, funny and opened my eyes to something new.

Interests

I have been doing folk dancing like over 8 years.
I love to read about uncommon places - in the full bar, on the stairs, at loud places, in seminars.

I like some anime, but like 90% animes in the world suck. I watch an anime, when the plot is calm, sweet and strange same time and there is some style, what I like a lot (Mushishi).

And I love smoking in my balcony alone.
There isn't a better time to take off time from everything and just stand in one place and smoke.
