About Me

I don't like talking about me. Read the comments of people I hosted and you will know everything what you need. I can say one thing: I love hitchhiking, meeting people and talking with them.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a philosphy... I think. I you know something about my philosphy - let me know - I want to know :) But I think that this story by Richard Bauman can tell many about my philosophy:

Two men were walking toward each other on an otherwise deserted beach. One man was in his early 20s, the other obviously much older. The smooth damp sand was littered with starfish, washed onto the land during high tide. They were stranded there when the tide ebbed. Thousands of starfish were doomed to die in the warm morning sun.
The younger man watched the older man pick up starfish one at a time and toss them back into the ocean, giving them a chance to survive. The young man thought, “Why is he doing that? How foolish. He can’t save them all.”
As they came near one another, the younger one felt compelled to point out to the older man the futility in his action. “You know,” he said, “you can’t save them all. Most of them will die here on the sand. What you are doing really won’t make any difference.” The older man studied the young man for a moment. Then he bent down, picked up a starfish and tossed it into the water. He smiled at the young man and said, “It made a difference to that one.” Then he walked on, picking up starfish and tossing them back into the sea.

I'm trying to be like this old guy.
