CURRENT MISSION

My favourite things to do are:
- cooking healthy food
- eating and drinking in good company
- doing yoga
- TRAVELLING

I couldnt live without music, im very open to new music, like to know other's music taste:) I listen to jazz, rock, blues, reggae, classic music, soul, R&B, flamenco, sufi, salsa and many, MANY others. I finished music school and i sometimes still like to play piano.

Love to meet new people, going out, talking, listening and learning new things.
I hate boredom, I love doing crazy things.
Except that I love to travel, my parents travelled a lot when they were young so i guess i inherited love for adventures, i like everything whats new, new experiences. I'm a bit crazy- normal life often bores me:)
I hope that description tells u something about what kind of person i am, if you want to know me better, you can read my blog, which is still in construction fase, but already has a lot of pictures and some interesting stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

travelling is not an adventure, LIFE'S AN ADVENTURE!!

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
Antoine de Saint Exupéry

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am on couchsurfing for a few years now and I always loved that idea.
However I observed that the website changes and a lot of new couchsurfers do not understand what it is all about. So to be clear I love travellers, people always willing to learn, teach, have amazing experiences but also give back. I do not accept those who use this website for flirting, comercial purposes and doing hurtfull things. I have met so many great people through this website and I hope it stays that way.

For now I cannot host, but I am also available for coffee, drink, dinner or some advise if you need one:)
I will be travelling soon to Asia, which was always my dream, so I hope to find some wonderful couchsurfers around there:)

Music, Movies, and Books

I cannot remember now, but a looooot more! I keep forgeting about some music, then I come back to what I was listening in the past, I appreciate all good music.

cinema - enjoy watching movies and going to the cinema A LOT, for example I like Almodovar, Ang Lee, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo del Torro, Lynch, Rodriguez, Alejandro González Iñárritu movies, British movies, I love the British TV series 'Skins' and I watched so many movies I liked that I would never managed to write them all down. However every time I watch some Iñárritu movie, after that I am like- 'wooooow'

books- Orhan Pamuk books, 'The Catcher in the Rye', 'Little Prince', Julio Cortazar, Dostojewki, TIZIANO TERZANI- I admire him so much, Rumi, I enjoy poetry sometimes, Miłosz, Kafka- although it is crazy difficult for me to read his books I like it

favourite book - orson scott card 'ender's game' and also'enders shadow'
And I have to mention that I am reading this absolutely amazing and genius book 'Rayuela' of Julio Cortazar and I am totaly dazed how beautiful, deep and smart it is. The problem is I have been reading it for a year now, because it is so good I dont want to finish. (it's a bit crazy i know;))
