CURRENT MISSION

UNTERWEGS ZUHAUSE (feeling at home by travelling)

ABOUT ME

Sometimes I like to leave the COMFORT ZONE,

which is my usual behavioural state within which I operate in an anxiety-neutral condition, using a limited set of behaviours to deliver a steady level of performance, usually without a sense of risk.
(after: White 2009)

In my life there is a certain relation to chaos.

PHILOSOPHY

"The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when it's open."

and also:

Do not look away

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since my first Couch Surfing Experience thanks to Alex in Zagreb, years ago, in the following years I met only interesting and nice people, openminded and friendly.

I live a bit in the middle of Nowhere, but there are many things to see as historical buildings, castles:
