PHILOSOPHY

One of my life motto's: "Better take the risk and maybe later regret than don't do anything and anyway regret!" (- Nicolo Machiavelli -)

Zum Geleit auf den Weg:
"Es gibt keinen Weg zum Glück. Glücklichsein ist der Weg."

"We can only be responsible for our own path ... let others have theirs."
"Ideas can be powerful. ... If not ideas, then what else is there? Action."
(- Point Break -)

"You know, the smallest thing can change your life. In a blink of an eye, something happens by chance - when you least expect it - since you're on a course you never planned, into a future you never imagined. Where will it take you? That's the journey of our lives: our search for the light. But sometimes, finding the light means you must past through the deepest darkness" (- The Lucky One -)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've surfed many times abroad and mainly it has been a wonderful experience! From Fernando in Porto who encouraged me to continue to use Couchsurfing till Veronika who showed me not give up for looking a Couch! They and other persons in Couchsuring I've stayed at have been great to talk with, fantastic local ambassadors and just nice persons to spend time with! Thank you all, folks! :))
