About Me

CURRENT MISSION

exploring the limits of beliefs :)

ABOUT ME

I'm grateful to have a lot of friends who are the biggest treasure of all, couldn't live without music & real books, adore nature specially the sea and the blue sky (if you ever come to Beijing, you'll understand why),
could live without net (which is proved by my 'regular' presence on the site), movie fan, easy going and usually very talkative (except for days when I'm shy), rather use a pen than a keyboard, love traveling and don't believe in time, at least not the one we're learnt to believe in. I believe in miracles and simplicity of life. I believe that world is coming to its evolution and that every person's deeds & acts count. I love nature ways, especially the days when I can walk barefoot & take everything I need from surroundings. I love potatoes made on the fire. I love watching the sunset while sitting on the sand. I love the idea that there is much more to life than we can see. I love animals. I love being wrong if it makes me feel at ease. I love the insights and synchronicity of everyday that blossom only if you allow them. I love life. I love to laugh. I love making people laugh. I love helping. I love exploring. I love balance that comes through the opposites. I love listening to the people. I love telling the right thing. I love hugs. I love Molder (truth is somewhere out there ;) I love singing although it's not my biggest talent. I love writing, translating things I'm passionate about. I love seeing people happy. I love seeing couples happy. I love Mayans because they bring back the sense of the natural time. I love long walks and hiking. I love staring at the sea. I love going out, but have no problem staying in (since recently ;)I, simply, love :)

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you wish to see in the world
&
love each other or perish

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spreading the joy, how else :) anyways, while I was in Beijing, I was a host and people seemed to be happy with it. Now, I'm in Belgrade with no permanent address or place of my own. The idea is to go to Canary Islands with my ex/future roommate in November and we'd need a host for couple of days, until we find out own place where people could come visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I had hosted 7 surfers & all of them were really great. It's all about getting to know and understand people more each time, while having a good time with them. what else can you wish for?:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed loyal to myself after making the hardcore decision not to be involved in systems or structures or business of modern society anymore in spite of having almost nothing in hand. This was even more amazing for me personally than seeing Hawaii, Aruba or Island, which are all truly beautiful. But, wait until I get to Amazon...:)

Teach, Learn, Share

Basic requirements of internal martial arts lead to harmony of the body and mind, humans and nature. teaches us how to slow down, take a deep breath, live, observe & be present. I would like to exchange thoughts and ideas with people who have some knowledge in this area as well as with the ones who have deeper understanding of Mayan calendar. Exchange is something that dwells on my mind for many years now (I do believe that we can live just by exchanging either the knowledge or fruits of our work) - whatever you learned it's only worth if you share it. I wouldn't mind sharing anything from my life's philosophy if it's gonna help. So far, it kept me on my way.
