About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make 2012 my best year yet! :)

ABOUT ME

..if you'll read my profile,you'll get some idea of who I am.. ;)

Although you always need to double check your ideas about other people ;)

I'm always happy to meet some interesting people,and I'm looking for friends all over the world,so if you want to get in contact with me,don't be shy! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

"Whatever you give away today, or think or say or do, will multiply about tenfold and then return to you.

It may not come immediately, nor from the obvious source,
but the law applies unfailingly, through some invisible force.

Whatever you feel about another, be it love or hate or passion,
will surely bounce right back to you in some clear or secret fashion.

If you speak about some person, a word of praise or two,
soon tens of other people will speak kind words of you.

Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul, not secrets of the brain,
kind ones bring us happiness; petty ones, untold pain.

Giving works as surely as reflections in a mirror,
if hate you send, hate you'll get back, but loving brings love nearer.

Remember, as you start this day and duty crowds your mind,
that kindness comes so quickly back to those who first are kind.

Let that thought and this one direct us through each day,
the only things we ever keep are the things we give away."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel at the moment, so I surf couches :)

I'll host people once I'm settled down and have my own place :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with CS hosts in Crete and in Eindhoven so far and my experience was really positive :)

Interests

Martial arts - I learned many lessons about life here,and there are always new lessons waiting to be learnt.I'm very grateful for this.

Acrobatics - art of movement which can teach you a lot if you are willing to accept it.I'm very glad that soon I'll have the opportunity to train more,and I hope I'll learn the tricks I always dreamed about ;)

Creative writing - a way to express yourself and make a difference.What really fascinates me about literature is that one sentence read in the book can inspire you and change your life forever.I hope that someday I'll write sentence like that ;)

Business/Investing - another interesting topic for me,because money can give you a lot more freedom and opportunity to help a lot more people that really needs your help.One more way to make a difference.

And one thing that is most interesting for me and that unites all interests mentioned above is personal development,because in my opinion,when we'll be leaving this life,the only things we'll be able to take will be the things we have learned ;)

Books:

My favorite authors are:

His Holliness Dalai Lama XIV - Love and compassion will make this world better place for all of us.

Zen Master Seung Sahn - "Compass of Zen" is the book I really recommend for everyone who wants to get familiar with buddhism.

Steve Pavlina - blogger at www.stevepavlina.com.In short,visit his site,read some articles,and get his book! ;)

Tim Ferris - author of "4 hour work week".A must read for people who love travelling - it offers a whole new perspective, at least it did for me.

Brian Tracy - goal setting and time management are absolutely vital skills,people!And Brian Tracy is one of the best authors on personal productivity.

Jack Canfield - "Success Principles" is a great book,very practical and very inspiring on the same time.

Natalie Goldberg - I recommend her book "Writing Down The Bones" for all people who are interested in creative writing,because this book can give you not only interesting insights on writing,but also interesting insights on life.

Yeah,I really like books..I adore them!

Why,you ask?Because writer can put wisdom that she or he gained in many years to one book,and if you are ready to learn and to apply what you've learned,that book can make a difference in your life and save you many years of struggles..And time is our most precious resource,so it seems like a good idea to learn from books,right? ;)

..and the best part is that if a book makes a difference in your life,consequently you will make a difference in some other persons life..What is the point of learning something valuable and keeping it for yourself?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm in Canary Islands now, how cool is that? :D

In case you're local you probably won't understand my excitement, but I'm coming from country which is freezing in winter (sometimes -20 degrees Celcius freezing) and I have never seen a palm tree before :)

Teach, Learn, Share

- I can give you advice on how to start a career as a freelance writer.

- I can explain you the mechanism of turning your blog into a business.

- I can teach you some self-defense moves, since I'm studying martial arts for more than ten years.
