CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to be a global citizen, to meet new friends and be a part of a trustful exchange. Live and let live; enjoy life; nothing more. Just giving a bed and some conversation, breaking some bread if there is time.

ABOUT ME

I am not here to tell about myself. I'd like simply to facilitate people's travel and my own. I love to travel and appreciate anyone who has such a love as well.

PHILOSOPHY

These questions are surprising me. My philosophy of life can't be put down in website window. However, I ground myself in a "good faith" approach to life. When you act in good faith, you don't have to sweat your mistakes or failures but can focus on what you learn from them and how to improve from there. I like striving for deeper knowledge of self and of people and life around me, including understanding my own and others' limitations. We're human--let's celebrate it. ))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to this and will see what makes sense.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had my first couch hosting experience, and it was lots of fun. (Thanks to Vincent and Munching!) Others to come, so I am all booked up for the next couple of months....

Interests

Languages, cultures, sharing travel experiences and travel tips.

• traveling
• languages

Music, Movies, and Books

I tend toward the philosophically serious: serious dramas, documentaries, fiction and pure philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got out of my little home town at 17--have since seen much of the world--traveled throughout and have lived in Russia, Italy, Czech Republic. I've also traveled extensively in SE Asia and have visited many other places on all continents except for Australia and Antarctica. I have many more places I would care to see.

Teach, Learn, Share

Kind people, spirited people, humbly philosophical people and creative people. Humility is a virtue I revere and is attained by those with a higher level of spirit and intelligence, I find.
