CURRENT MISSION

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. "

ABOUT ME

Usually I'm nerdy. When I'm not busy being nerdy, I'm busy pretending that I do something useful (I don't), that I have a job (I usually don't) or that I invest in my personal development or whatever (I don't). So I spend my days watching all kinds of things, reading all kinds of things and listening to all kinds of things.
But apart from that I have a great sense of humour, a lot of common sense and I tend to be friendly. Really.
I love people, even if I often claim otherwise. I find people wonderful and interesting if they have something to say. I can talk all day and all night over a beer or some tea or whatever. I love listening. I do not judge and I want to hear all kinds of stories.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everyone has a right to live the way one chooses, as long as one doesn't harm anybody. My motto is "Live and let others live". When I feel particularly naive and idealistic, I think that I want to participate in turning the world into a better place, where everybody could stay in peace and happiness.

I recpect people regardless of their race, religion, nationality, polithical believes or sexual orientation and I demand the same from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosted a few times by wonderful, open people. I have hosted once so far, but looking forward to more :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly the best. If not the best, than at least very interesting.

Interests

I'm a literature, film and music lover. I love travelling, getting to know new cultures and people who are different than I am. I have an interest in languages and my problem is that I would love to learn way too many. My day should be much longer!
