Keep trying to get the work life balance, dancing Flamenco, improving my Spanish, learning new things,...

ABOUT ME

I think that people who DO take the time to read my profile and references, and can read a bit between the lines, will have quite a good idea about what kind of person I am. I don't like describing myself, but in general I'm sociable, love traveling, teaching and learning new things. I hate violence and hurting people or animals. I'm a vegetarian. I feel fortunate to have a big family and many dear friends, we help each other, have fun together, love each other. If we love someone, we can always find the time for them.

PHILOSOPHY

Life
by Mother Teresa

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed in the USA, Israel and Norway and have hosted visitors both in the Czech Republic and in Spain.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So many great things about couchsurfing...with this community, you are never alone when you travel. All my couchsurfing experience is unforgettable. This idea has made the world a smaller and friendlier place!
I thoroughly enjoy both surfing and hosting.

Unfortunately, recently I've also been a bit disillusioned with CS, due to some surfers who obviously don't have the true CS spirit and are only looking for a free place to stay, and who don't keep in touch, confirm on time or don't even show up. From now on, I'm going to choose my guests more carefully.
Those of you who are truly interested in getting to know me, when writing your couch request, send me an idiom/proverb/joke from your country (as I'm interested in learning languages).
I don't feel like hosting people who don't even read my profile and don't explain - honestly- why they really want to meet me rather than some of the Spanish locals.

That's why I will only reply to people who prove they have read this.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like films which stay with you longer than the moment you leave the cinema.
Books-read a lot and many different genres,it's difficult to pick even a few books. But recently I've read lots of postcolonial literature; I really like Jhumpa Lahiri, Alice Munro, Margaret Atwood, ...
I like many kinds of music; I'm discovering new artists at the moment - e.g. some Scandinavian and Spanish musicians. But my all time favorites are Alanis Morisette, U2, Cechomor, ZAZ.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many...e.g. Hopi Indian tribe members in Arizona, making bows and arrows while watching TV :)
