About Me

CURRENT MISSION

* help, learn and be amazed :) *

ABOUT ME

Definitely open-minded and curious! Always interested in meeting people from different backgrounds, cultures and travelers!

Why do I live my life? I wouldn't venture an answer here... but a character in Ionesco's play Exit the king wrote something that has a great resonance for me:
""Exist" and "die" are just words, figments of your imagination. Once you realize that, nothing can touch you. Forget our empty clichés. We can never know what it really means, "exist" or "die". Or if we think we do, our knowledge has deceived us. Stand firm, get a grip on yourself! Never lose sight of yourself again! Sweep everything else into oblivion! Now you exist, now you are. Forget the rest. That's the only truth. Just be an eternal question mark : what...? why...? how...? And remember: that you can't find the answers is an answer in itself. It's you, all the life in you, straining to break out. Dive into an endless maze of wonder and surprise, then you too will have no end and can exist forever. Everything is strange and undefinable. Let it dazzle and confound you! Tear your prison bars aside and batter down the walls!" Exit the King by E. Ionesco
Live and question.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
