CURRENT MISSION Done! (Finishing our cycling honeymoon from Hungary to Vietnam in one year. We started on 14th of August 2016 and crossed 12 countries: Hungary-Croatia-Bosnia-Montenegro-Albania-Greece-Iran-Sri Lanka-India-Nepal-Thailand-China-Vietnam) ABOUT ME PETER: I'm a calm, cheerful, down-to-earth person, and you won't find easily a person who saw me angry. It takes some time for me to open up, but it very much depends on the person's personality, I'm being with. I'm not much into partying anymore, but I'm up for a coffee, tea, beer or whatever. LINH: I'm a friendly girl who likes to tease the others for ice-breaking. I am enjoying talking about cooking, gardening, detecting and spying. :D I'm a typical Asian girl who doesn't drink or party, but once I do, I rock! PHILOSOPHY PETER: A cup of tea solves everything. >I believe if you put "A cup of tea solves everything." to the first line of your request you'll have much higher chance having us as a host! I believe that life has no meaning, so my task is to fill it with goals, experiences, feelings. I'm trying to be free as much as possible from religions, beliefs, new age thoughts.
