ABOUT ME

I am communicative, open minded, curious.

I am very interested in living my life. I see life as a process, so my plan is to never stop developing myself. And to be happy every day at least as much as I am today, which I don't find very hard, since I am alive, healthy and my imagination is interesting enough. I find talking honestly to people very important, because I can't see other way of connecting with someone. And writing - for staying in touch with myself. I think that both intellectual (rational) and instinctive nature of human being are important, so I'm trying to balance between these two. I'm actually trying to balance between black and white all the time, because life is colorful. I'm confused sometimes.

PHILOSOPHY

I remember that once I had a problem. That's when I started living my life.
Always be honest with everyone, including yourself.
Always look on the bright side of life.
Life is a journey, not a destination.
Life is the best coincidence that's ever happened to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So, last year I started participating in CouchSurfing, by both hosting travellers and being a guest, and I love it! I now work and study, plus one of my beds is not usable, so it's unfortunately not comfortable for hosting. Nevertheless I'll be glad to meet up downtown and to show you around, if I have time!

Interests

I enjoy reading, listening to music, watching movies, listening to other people, dancing, riding bike, skiing, swimming, walking with no plan, being alone, being in good company, analyzing, solving problems, translating. What really grab my attention can be anything that I find challenging to describe by words - human being, wild nature, group of people, city, soul, landscape, my mind, other people's ideas, music, colors, feelings, motion etc. I love learning. Music festivals. I love philology. I love everyday life.
