CURRENT MISSION

To do everything I can: "to learn, to play, to enjoy life, to travel, to discover, to speak english, to help people, to earn money, to sleep, to eat, to do kitesurfing, ..."

ABOUT ME

- I love meeting new people and exploring the unknown.
- I am keen on sport activities! (mostly outdoor and nature related)
- I am generally up for anything, and it's nearly impossible to offend me.
- I am a risk-taker and always look for adventure. I would like to experience everything.
- I was a chess addict and still like to play a game or two.
- I treat everyone the way that I'd like them, to treat me.
- In my life can never be too many people to love!
- I'm trying to make every moment such that I will always remember it with a smile...
- I like to live free and unique like a tree and in a brotherly manner like a forest!
- My heart and my life are like open books... treasure me always and I will do the same...
- I believe it's important to question everything, and still I find myself believe in something bigger than we can even name.

It's good to know!
Few links with really useful info. about CS:
Before writing a CouchRequest it's good to read "How to write a couch request" http://couchwiki.org/en/How_to_write_a_couch_request
or

If you want to "surf my couch" click on the button "Send Request to Denis Verhovnik!" which can be found on the top of my profile..
..calling me by name would be nice :)

I respond to all requests (even if I can't host you) and you can expect a reply in a day or so. It is more likely you'll get a positive answer if your profile is filled out and you say something more in your request than just the dates you wish to stay here. If I see that you did read my profile than your chances to get a positive answer are really close to 100%.

PHILOSOPHY

- Keep the promise.. and don't promise too much :]
- Live your life in such a way, that when you look back once, you won't feel bad.
- Don't worry, be happy.
- Enjoy all the good you can.
- Learn from all the bad.
- The present is just.. a gift meant to be opened and treasured...
- It's what's inside the book that matters.. not just the cover.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies who prepare you to stop and think about something that you wouldn't think of otherwise. I also like those: Hotel Rwanda, Zeitgeist, Saving private Ryan, Matrix, The Shawshank Redemption, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", K-Pax, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I like all quality music because music is too beautiful to be categorized. I like exploring new sounds.

I'm not reading much. Actually I think I should read more often. However, I really enjoyed when I read these: Lord of the Flies - William Golding, Alamut - Vladimir Bartol, The Lord of the Rings - Tolkien
