About Me

CURRENT MISSION

catch the sunsets and sunrises... and catch all sounds.

ABOUT ME

travel physically and mentally ... learn about new cultures, new languages, to commune with nature. In the future, to create a warm house.

...and do drive licence for the motorcycle :)

PHILOSOPHY

* "If we grow weary of waiting, we can go on a journey. We can be the stranger who comes to town."

* "don't forget, that when it's really bad, then it's good adventure and probably one, maybe the greatest adventure u ever have in your life. just get over this, don't be stupid."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm still a layman here :) but I have a friend who with CouchSurfing already visited 3/4 planet and met wonderfull people so i will try to do the same.

Interests

music, music, music. I love to catch the sounds, even sounds of the street. I like the whole concert chaos :) I love photography, analogue and pictures in black - and white. I like to read books and comics. I like fairy tales. my unfinished love is contemporary dance. My new love is paper cutting and illustration by ink and pencil draw. I like to write also. My secret passion is cook and knowlege about healthly nutrition. besides i like:
- fog- I love when my city shrouded in mist fluffy. I like to lie on the snow and make shapes. I love Morocco (which is close to my heart.) I like cats, I like walks, cycling, climbing.

...human rights, civilizations of the Middle East.
And of course I like to go ahead, where the legs carry me.
