Overview
About Me
!!! Need to update my profile !!!
I used to have a verified address but I moved so much now. Take it or leave it. I have lots of references. And trust me, I'm a doctor :-p.
CURRENT MISSION
I am here I don't know for how long, but I will try to enjoy my stay as much as I can!
ABOUT ME
I think it is really hard to provide a good description about oneself through words in a box on a CS page. However, I will do my best.
First of all I am quiet, although it doesn't take too long to get me started in a conversation. I am the type that, if I have something worth saying I will say it. If not, then I will keep to myself. Don't be afraid of this though, because I am quite nice, patient, I can laugh, I can try to be funny (although, not too often, since it doesn't always work), thoughtful, open, interested in politics, music, art, books, philosophy, science... I like to think about many things, I like to discuss many things, I am somewhat messy, but I try to keep that to a minimum -- i.e. the kitchen must be clean! I am happy when the sun shines and love to laugh (like everybody else!)
PHILOSOPHY
Live and let live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
There were 9 of us that went to Prague and stayed at a very nice couple's house. They were amazing, just like the trip!
I surfed in Gdansk and Krakow and it was great to meet such wonderful and helpful people. Couch surfing is awesome, and to quote a friend: "[the CS experience] exceeded my expectations!"
To sum it up "CS is awesome!" It is so good on so many different levels: getting to meet wonderful people, getting to see places that as a tourist you wouldn't have seen, feeling really good wherever you are!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Barcelona! Fusion Festival!
Leaving my family at age 17 to pursue my dreams. Haven't regretted it yet, I doubt I ever will, but I do miss my family.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach:I can teach a bit of guitar, I can give you cooking tips and I can tell you lots of things about physics. And if you really want to get me started on world politics then just go ahead, I have lots of things to say in that field as well.
Learn: I would like to learn as much as possible, so teach me!
Share: My couch - LOL. Also, many stories and advice if you're willing to listen.
