About Me

CURRENT MISSION

going around looking for My People

ABOUT ME

I am trying to balance between my ideals and real life. Nobody said, it is gonna be easy, but it is bloody interesting ;) I always try to keep my mind open to different ways of living, but, for sure, there will be people with whom I'll find more in common and some with whom there are less to talk about, but - that's again an experience! I'm more of a home party or small, local bars person than loud all night party'er (just that you know), so if I'm showing you the city it would be small bars, some specific places not the biggest touristic bars in the very "heart of the city". :)

PHILOSOPHY

To be in harmony with myself and others, to fight with my ego and to live in a way, that doesn't harm anyone else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

by offering my place, sharing my experiences, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted some people, who all have been great.
Spent 2 months of summer 2010 surfing with couch surfers through almost all Europe, where I met some wonderful people.

Interests

Theater, literature, movies, spending time in nature, music, home parties, cooking. And though I am afraid and usually get really stressed when new challenges comes, but still I like to do things, which at a first glance seems impossible for me to do.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: a lot of. Danish movies and Scandinavian movies in general. Woody Allan, Jim Jarmuch, Lars von Trier, and others.

Music: all kind of. Depends on mood and circumstances.

Books: Well, lately I have some kind of a block when it comes to fiction. But I do like the works of Milan Kundera, Karen Blixen, Virginia Vulf, Peter Høeg and others.
Now I am more interested in different kinds of self-exploring books (not self help books or "how to become succesful in 10 days" books) - books about the ways your mind works, philosophical books, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 weeks in Morocco for me as a European women, while also a person, who respects and values different cultures, where a hard task to do. But hard can be amazing to - at least it revealed a lot about myself.
