ABOUT ME
I am here for 36 years now. Like most couchsurfers, I like to travel, visit different places, different cultures, meet different people and learn, try and experience new things. What more to say about myself, I enjoy food (: Live on a pescatarian diet, I dont smoke cigarettes and don't follow any specific religion, but spirituality is an important part of my life. I am often in for a good conversation and or adventure. I am generally a quiet, calm person, but can be very talkative, mainly one on one or in very small groups :) I value honesty, humor, I am open minded, inquisitive, enjoy exploring, I love to understand things but more so love the mystery.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is a playground. Life is a dream, we are a dream, we are the dreamer, become lucid and you will be god!
Follow the whispering of the soul!
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving. Lao Tzu
'We cannot change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses'. Carl Jung
'Silence is the language of god, all else is bad translation' Ruml
