About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be

ABOUT ME

I like to do things together with someone, like making food or go for a trip or repare a car :)
I like to read good books, watch not so bad movies;
I like tourist cycling and mountain trips;
or lie in the grass on sunny afternoon or walk barefoot;
I bake bread, sometimes cakes too (low-sugar, haha :) );
I like the sense, when on early morning, at some mountain hut I can have a view over the tops and a big cup of coffee with milk in my hand;
I like nature and her creatures, I see the god's creation and feel his presence there;
Sometimes I like my work, and some people I know :)
..learning to appreciate small things

PHILOSOPHY

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality, their feelings, most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts, people treat feelings as something destructing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous and they are focused on avoiding it. How can they deal with love if they're affraid to feel? Pain is ment to wake us up. People try to hide their pain, but they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strenght in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are part of you. Your own reality if you feel ashamed of them and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain" J.M.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In city I live now, I can host some of you;
If it'll be possible (cause of my work) I can guide you a little or take you on some excursion /so best for me are weekends/

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS, because I used to surf on some couches and I met people... I met their hospitality, I get warm and attention and I felt under care; it was a very good experience and it opened my mind.

Interests

Listen to some good music, cooking, drawing, reading books, cycling, watching movies, lying on the grass and do nothing, walking barefoot, play darth, table-tennis or old boardgames

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh, I think that the beauty is actually in the eye of observer :) And to be amazed is actually an ability to get such state of mind :)

Amazing for me are people who overcomed themselves :)

- I took my rucksack, just like that, and left abroad for almost two years;
I forgive myself;
I saw the wild fox in the middle of the city;
